Sewing adventures: kitty pillow!

I was quite excited to set up my sewing machine after a few years of it sitting in a closet. As much as I love sewing by hand, golly, I am completely enamored by the speed and accuracy of a sewing machine. Am hooked! 

One of the things I aspire for most in life is making cute things. Thus, I was quite pleased with this test sewing project. 

If you're interested in what I used to make the cute faces of this two-faced pillow: some felt and a hot glue gun. Also this project took less than an hour. :) 

Happy Sunday!!!! xxxx

Salad Fingers

Did you ever watch that online cartoon? It was terribly creepy slash hilarious, and it suits a dreary winter evening that just seems to linger on. One realizes quite quickly that it could be worse. :P

in honor of the tiny house movement

Ah, what else is there to do on a snowy, oh-so-cold morning, besides making tiny adorable origami houses? Also, I recommend eating this while making the petite community.

This is a fairly easy origami task, requiring two sheets of square paper--one to make the roof, another to make the bottom. I found this recipe on my most favorite origami website. Try it yourself: Tiny House Recipe on Origami Club.

A snowy village!

The village relocates to the kitty's lair.

The kitty examines the new village...

And decides it is unacceptable. 

:( :( :( 

Shall test out other recipes for architecture in the near future. 

Happy Sunday, wherever you are! ^_^

New/old art in our petite apartment

Our newest addition (above) Only problem is we are officially out of wall space!  Below: art arrangements about the space. We are fortunate to have tall ceilings!

What's lovely about these pieces is that all of them were free, handmade, or from an antiques or thrift store. Have you an amazing vintage find that adorns your walls?
