Soft Things

Hello, loves. Nothing like pots of tea and a few soft things on these blustery days!
A few of my recent ones:

Another wee pirate lass from over the weekend...

My little Emily (paling-in-comparison-to) stitched approximation of Jenn's incredible, adorable party hat needle felted kitties:

I had to make a little party cat-girl for myself! I always, always miss all of Jenn's sweet creatures, so matter how dilligent I try to be on her sales days. And this makes me very, very sad.

I painted and sketched a bit this weekend, plotting out the Christmas/Holiday card image (I'm so excited about this!). I want to finish it today, so hopefully I'll be able to show you tomorrowish. All of the holiday industriousness over at Small Object Sarah's blog is making me excited about how lovely it is/how crazy it can be to be a little cottage industry proprietress at le holidays! I've also got a few other original paintings up my sleeve, so those will make their appearances soon enough.

And, in case you are not a regular visitor to the fountain of loveliness that is Alicia's blog, stop over and read today's post. It is so wise and so beautifully written, and I so greatly appreciate that little mantra she ends with.

Oh, and one more soft thing:

I'm snuggling up to this little jacket today...2 guesses on where it came from (wink, wink). I'm so predictable.
