I have some new patterns....

I am sitting her at work....yes, I do have a "real" job, but its only 2 hours a day! My Momma has to pick up my nephew so I fill in while she is gone. Sometimes its pretty quiet & I get pretty bored! So today I am reading a doll pattern book and, as usual, getting more & more ideas that I won't have time to ever do!! :)

I did put a some new patterns on my website, www.thecatspyjamas.com I made a Santa & his elves pattern from the Flamingo set I did a couple of months ago. Click on the photo to get a bigger picture. I love how the elves turned out with their freckles and pink feathery house shoes!! I am leaning more towards the spring colors lately--pink, teal, white, green....I would love to have a whole booth full of those colors by my show in March, but I don't know if I can get that much done by then. But I can picture it now....all spring colors & glitter....bunnies & angels. I guess I better get to work!!

Old Snowman is the other new pattern. I watched Christmas with the Kranks before Christmas and saw that big Snowman the guy had to put on his roof.... did you notice the snowman had a button nose? Well, I did! So that's what made me think to put that big ol' button on his nose. The song "Frosty the Snowman" says "with a corn cob pipe and a button nose". I never even thought of it, I just always made my snowmen with carrot noses. But here's a new way!

One night last week I got out my paperclay and went crazy making figures and doll heads! They're all finished now and need finishing touches....will add some pictures of some later on. I love working with paperclay. I don't know why I don't do it more often!

Believe it or not, the kitties have been quiet. I think it has been so cold all they want to do is snuggle in front of the fireplace! They only get to do that when I'm in the room now since the incident with the flaming tail!! My Daddy saw a solid white cat at the vet's office today and thought I should go get it. I guess he thinks I collect white cats now!
