The Dog Pound!

I love pictures of ornament groups. Here's a picture of my dogs on Etsy. They have a lot of personality, don't they. And don't ask me why one dog is named Cyril, I'm not sure where that came from.

I love working with embroidery floss on felt too. The bright colors are so pretty!

By the way, I had done a bunch of cat ornaments and bags...I didn't want the dogs to feel left out..I love them too!

My Large Gingerbread Man Purse

I just completed the larger version of my miniature gingerbread man purse. It is so, so adorable! I've never used felt to make a large purse before, and I love the way it feels and looks. It has a wintry and holiday look to it. The felt is thick and sturdy and it's easy to add bling when you're dealing with a neutral color like gray.

Look for more felt type bags from me!

I'm a Mouse Not a Rat!






Hi, I'm Aunt Vivvie, and I'm pleased to meet you.







Yes, this is a pretty dress isn't it? I love the ruffle and matching neck ribbon. I think I look good in this color, don't you?








Between you and me, I don't think most mice look good in this burgundy color, but I'm not most mice...I have a little bit of rat in me...don't tell anyone...I think it enhances my natural beauty...
If you tell anyone, I'll deny it!

Gingerbread Boy Purse


Tommorrow, I am going to be in the Bags and Purses Showcase in Etsy so I thought I would think outside of the box. To the left is my first purse that I will show...This purse doubles as a doll purse or christmas ornament for your tree because the purse body is only 3" tall! What do you think? Were your fooled, did you think this was a big purse?

New Cone Gift Bags!

I just love these cone gift bags. They're as fun to make as they are to decorate with--a nice alternative to a Christmas stocking and of course I added bling around the top.




The black fluffy ring around the olive green flocked fabric is adorable--a nice touch. See this sapphire blueolive green flocked and green velour with beads  in Etsy in the next couple of days!
