The Pumpkins Are Coming!

September 20th UPDATE:  Yes, I am slow in getting new photos and listings up.  Gotta get it done.  I, however, have posted a photo of a fabric wall hanging entitled Whimsy Witch on my Artfire shope:  This was made last year and sold before having the chance to be listed.  I am offering to make to order, on a limited basis, another for any one who wants one - however, I do not plan to make any past the first week of October.
I have been working on a few pumpkins in between my busy schedule for this week.  However, a couple were purchased by someone of my locality and did not stay with me long enough to even be photographed.  That is okay as that I have started on a few more.  Now, I need to get them finished and listed.  I do not intend to make more for sale after this week as that I need to move on to other projects.  Have a great weekend, everyone!http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/CherChic/3836790

My Latest Project: WHIMSY WINNIE WITCH

After pulling out some items made in the past (years ago), I decided to recreate this door hanging.  I intended to put it for sale online, but it was sold before I applied the last finishing touches.  

I have so many projects planned and I hope to get to them all if my time constraints allow.  Better to be busy than idle!

Happy Halloween, Everyone!

E.T. Is a Favorite with My Family

I rummaged through my files (sewing cabinet) the other day and found this pattern from which I made  this costume for my son when he was in the first grade.  It is for sale on my ETSY shop and I hope that someone will use it to give a child joy, or just enjoy it as a collector's item.

The costume is still in my son's possession, and he treasures it.  I put a great deal of love into that costume.

If you are interested in this pattern, please check it out -- It is in excellent shape.

Cher Chic's Pumpkin Patch

~Click on photo above for much larger view.~

I placed all of my pumpkin creations on a table for a "group" photo.  I really had fun making these and will be sad whenever one leaves me.  The pumpkin place mat is of a set of mine that I made several years back.  I use them every autumn from September through end of November.  (Other views of various pumpkins can be found on this page...keep scrolling down.)

The pumpkins can be found on my ETSY shop.

September 21 UPDATE:  I am working on a "Oh-So-Cute" Halloween wall hanging and aim to have it posted in a day or two.  I like this time of the year!

Pumpkins Abound!

These and other pumpkins made by me can be found on my ETSY shop.

If you would like duplicates of these shown, please contact me for availability (depends on availability of material).  If you would like a pumpkin made for you in a specific color or theme, do not hesitate to contact me:  I will take all requests into consideration, which really depends on whether material is obtainable or on my time restraints.

A Hit with My Granddaughter

This pumpkin set was created today and is a hit with my 8-year-old granddaughter!  I have created so many pumpkins of different fabrics and accents, and this was not the one that I expected her to gravitate towards.  Even my husband was wowed by it.

This set and other pumpkins made by me are listed on my Etsy shop.

I hope to have all pumpkins listed by late Friday.  I have to take my father to his doctor tomorrow (out of town), and I am taking photos, etc., and this takes time.  I have enjoyed creating the pumpkins this time around, and by the first of next week, I am working on another Halloween idea - stay tuned.

The Pumpkin Patch Is Overflowing

Visit my Etsy shop for these pumpkins.

NOTE:  I am in the process of making at least 5 more pumpkins -- Pics of

 these will be posted and will be listed for sale ASAP.

Harvesting My Pumpkins

I am in the process of listing, on my Etsy shop, the pumpkins that I completed during the past few days.  I aim to get all posted by late Sunday.  I also have some cloth napkins and a set of Christmas place mats that will go up for sale.

This pumpkin is on an Etsy Treasury! What a compliment!

It Is Time for Pumpkins!

I am presently stitching up some soft sculptured pumpkins.  Recently, I ran across a great find at a yard sale:  a huge stash of fabrics from a quilter of 20 + years.  From this stash, and from a selected number of prints purchased by me within the last year, these pumpkins are being created.  I do not know why, but the pumpkins are one of my favorite things to make.  Keep an eye out for these on my Etsy and Artfire shops next week!

Getting Back on Track & Free Artwork

After a schedule of 6 visits to hospitals and doctors, mainly for my father, within 8 days, I find that I may have time for doing some sewing and creating today.  I have a long list of projects to complete and need to get to it.  But, I am taking time out to publish this and let all, who are interested, know that I am back on track.  The artwork to the left is for your use if you wish to use it... All that I ask is that you give me credit for the artwork as that it is my creation.  It is a variation of one released last year (check out Art to Share tab at top of this page).  Have fun with it!

THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS

I know that someone may be moaning, "already putting things out for Christmas!"  No, I am making it a goal to start making items for Christmas (and Halloween & Thanksgiving) in order to have these ready for the holidays.  As soon as I complete each item, if not for a gift for a family member or close friend, I will post it on Etsy and/or Artfire for sale.
~If you would like to see something made that you have not seen in my blog or shops, feel free to give input.  I will certainly take suggestions into consideration!~
