Lil' Miss Pretty Kitty!

I just finished this little kitten in a pink dress today.  I had picked up the cute vintage doll dress at an antique shop a few months ago.  It was sitting all forlorn amongst a pile of other doll clothes odd and ends.  I had started off making a bunny actually, but while waiting for the ears to dry decided to go with a kitten instead.:)  When I was younger we lived on a farm with dozens of farm cats.  One of the cats my sister and I named, Little Miss Friend Cat.  (I don't know why exactly)  But that is what came back to me as I made this one.  My sister and I loved all the cats and kittens and wanted to bring them all inside but my parents wouldn't allow it!  We only had one or two house cats, the rest had to tough it outside.  I have fond memories of my sister and I finding the newest litter of baby kittens in the straw barn and we would sit in there for hours just playing with them.  LOL, the momma cats hated it though, as they would then go hide them elsewhere after we left!

Love Is In The Air...or Gazebo!




I had created this pretty pastel gazebo a month or so ago.  I kept changing the little cuties that were in it but it never seemed quite right.  So yesterday I made two sweet little kissing mice to place inside and now I think it is just right.:)

New Easter Bunnies!




I've been working on chicks so much the past few days that today I decided to switch back to bunnies!  I just love bunnies, don't you?:)  I created these three with an Easter theme.  They are wearing their Easter bonnets which I fashioned from vintage millinery flowers.  I made little dresses for them out of vintage lace trim and material.  I have them standing on wool felt that sandwich a thin wood disk.
