My first shirt in progress
I have always dreamed of making my own clothes. So tonight, I am turning my dream into a reality! I am using this Mccalls 3580 Vintage 70's pattern.
This pattern has some cute tops. I wanted to do the keyhole top, but with this being my first top, I don't think I am advanced enough yet. I am doing a lot of adjustments with a couple of the patterns. For instance, I don't think I am able to do the cute puff sleeves on one top , but I do like the overall shape of it. So I am doing a normal curved neckline and using the plain sleeves on the square top.

Fruitflypie Owl Purse Design

I have been working on a new purse design for the past 2 nights. It is a cute owl purse. I haven’t seen anything like it before. And I really want one myself. Here is the design I created (DO NOT STEAL, it took me a long time to create this!!!) I have a magnetic close at the top, but I was thinking of doing zipper but that makes it cost more and I haven’t ever attempted zippers. I have a bunch of vintage zippers in wonderful colors from the 70’s, like avacado, lavender and aqua.
But not enough or the right colors to do the 8 colors I want to do this in. It is all about the owls at my house!

New Pig & Cat Plush
I finished a new kitty plush doll tonight. She has my new Mom and baby Chick embroidery patch sewn to her belly. And the piggy is now super sized. Making the arms and legs were tough on the small scale using canvas fabric. But I wanted this piggy to be all one color so I made her bigger. Now I need to make her a cute dress to wear and find the perfect patch to sew to her belly too. Now time to get some sleep before the sun comes up.

New Owl and Mushroom Ceramics!
I made a few Owl planters and Owl ashtrays over the past few days. They were poured using vintage molds from the 70's. I have had these molds for over 4 years now and this is the first time I have used them. And I am sooo happy. This is a picture of them drying.
And check out this Mushroom Planter, I fell in love the moment I saw it! Visions of yummy herbs growing in it come to mind.
I have many more goodies coming along as well.

Pig On Rug Painting
I completed this a few days ago, I started it last year. And completion feels nice, even if it is a year later.
My piggy dolls dresses are done, but as for sewing them with canvas fabric, it is a nightmare to use for dolls. So I put that project away for weeks , and I have this guilty feeling to finish them. I have 3 yards of that yellow canvas to use up too. So My piggies arms and legs will be another type fabric. I haven't touched the sewing machine for a few weeks and today I threaded 7 bobbins and am ready to go.

Ceramics & Polymer Clay
New stuff finished. Polymer clay pendants and Piggy Multimedia painting with green beads, I have another one (Pink Rabbit) but it has been so cloudy all week, I haven't gotten any good pictures. A few ceramic pieces with glaze. I am painting all the other ceramic animals. I don't like this glaze look on them. I like more bright and happy color for them. The pendants will be listed on Ebay by the end of the week.

Ceramic Animal Army
Work in progress, Ceramic animals. In about 3 days when they are leather hard, I will smooth out any lumps they may have, Then it will take about 2 weeks for them to dry all the way through. After that, I will fire them, paint them, fire them again and they will be finished. Unless I decide to gloss some and fire a 3rd time. It takes forever but is very rewarding in the end.

This photo shows the most recent made in the front and the ones almost ready for the kiln in the back. Each stage is nice. They turn white when ready.
