Cat in a Bag

I just happened to be walking in the sunroom with my camera at hand and saw Rocco sleeping in a grocery bag so I had to get photo, they do the littlest things that make me smile!

I have no excuse for not blogging sooner, only just that I've been hibernating in my craft room alot lately, creating a little of this and that.
I love paper mache and had these little bears that I got many years ago and I thought they would be cute on a box and decorated them for a baby girl and boy. I have more paper mache' projects coming soon, I got some really cute shaped paper mache boxes that I can't wait to decorate.


I also started working on some Easter things for my little Etsy store. I made some more of my Chocolate Bunny tags but used fur instead of felt and added some paper grass and some tiny eggs I glittered.

I saw some yellow pom poms at the craft store and thought they would be so cute as a fluffy chick and this is what I came up with. I made the beaks with orange clay and baked them in the oven to harden. The eyes are little black beads and I hand stitched the legs. This time I used pre-glittered eggs!

Also made some cupcake tags using chipboard, beads, seam binding and more pom poms.

And lastly a couple cards made with some doilies from Belgium that I got from my favorite antique store.

We were expecting snow but they changed it to rain, I admit I wouldn't mind if it snowed at least one more time this winter!
Have a great week!

Beautiful projects Annette! Loving the paper mache boxes and oh my look at those adorable Easter creations! Making me look even "more" forward to Springtime! Rocco is adorable! He looks pretty happy in his paper bag! And the snow missed us too. They were giving us 8 inches, but all we got was rain and a dusting of snow. Suppose to get 2 inches tonite though.
Hugs
