christmas stockings

i have been working on christmas stockings - i figured i better get my thinkin' cap on and get started early - i am having a ball. what do y'all think???

here a chick, there a chick....

...everywhere a chick chick!

i am in love with these chicken feed pillows - i know, i know, i say that about all of them, but these are just too cute! hope everyone has a fab week! xx c

the one girl pillow factory...

...was open for business today and humming like a top! i love making pillows!

but do get a bit stressed out at all the stacks of sacks and fabrics to stitch up and have to remind myself that this is my hobby! :-)

and you would think that i would stop buying sacks, but NO, NOT ME!

after all, they may all be gone tomorrow!

and, i am starting to get the hang of my new camera mr. c gave me for my birthday!

i think i am brave enough now to try the macro lens - maybe next time

anywho - i am rambling again - my favorite today - love this rooster!

thanks so much for stopping by to read my babble and see my pillows!hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

vintage grainsack pillows

just a few more that my singer and i put together - hope you enjoy them and have a wonderful week!

feedsack pillows and chicken soup...

i hope y'all have not been sick! i am now!... have not really been sick with the cold crud for several years. everyone usually gets it....hubster, kids, grandkids, but not me! i just keep on going like the everready (sp?) bunny!

well, until now - came on me the end of last week like razor blades in my throat and just so yucky feeling as it continues to have its way with me! but, lots of zinc cold tabs and hubby's homemade chicken soup and some vintage grainsacks are making me better.

i have to be just about dead to not want to sew. i went into the studio today to finish a custom order and then to treat myself, i made these two pillows from a vintage grainsack.

This old cotton sack once held oats distributed by the National Oats Company in East St. Louis, Illinois.

I will be glad when this old cold is gone and so is tax season - am tired of the 6 day work weeks - but 3 day work weeks are right around the corner.....and, so is my birthday...yep another one and it is this week!

hope everyone has a fab week - eat a cupcake, drink some wine, go junkin', have a facial or a hot soak in the tub - do it for me, for my birthay! xo c

Time to Make The Pillows...

... since we are sort of "snowed-in". Georgia just shuts down when the snow and ice come - the last time it was like this was 1993, on my birthday. I will never forget it - Mr. CatNap got in his four-wheel drive and went to pick up my birthday cake from a friend who made it for me! Anywho...no birthday or cake today, but I am thankful for the stacks of sacks that I have in my studio, so I have had my nose down to my faithful Singer and my pedal to the metal (well, really, it is carpet) and have cranked out a few more for the shop. Hope everyone is staying warm! And thanks for stopping in today!
