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

More Pumpkins Are Arriving!

I have finished a couple of pumpkins and they are to be photographed and posted shortly.  Making items for my online shops is a part-time activity for me.  This week is going to be hectic for me, but I will work to get some new pumpkins and previously made items listed.  Have a great Labor Day week, everyone!

READY FOR EASTER!

Any one of these will be a wonderful surprise for an Easter basket!  

Left: AMORIE, the chocolate point primitive kitty.

Middle: CLORMEY, the impish little caterpillar in festive spring colors.

Right: HOPPIE, a white primitive bunny.

All three are of my origin designs inspired by creating things for my two granddaughters.

Please visit my shops for these and more!

Little Blue Rooster

This was sold and shipped out this week and I honestly did so with some regret as that this particular one is dear to me.  I really like the material and this is one project that I enjoy making.  However, I have some more material and plan to make a couple more sometime after Christmas ... and I plan to keep one for my kitchen.  In fact, I have started using chicken items and motifs in my kitchen during the past year.


I added the ruffled "tail" to this item.  The pot holders prior to the making of this one, did not have the ruffle.  


Also, when I visit the fabric shop again, I aim to keep an eye out for a pattern that may suit this chicken as well as this print does.

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!

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.

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!

Discovery in a Dresser

I peeked into a dresser in which "stuff" was stored and I found a kitty shape that I made many years ago of muslin. Now, muslin is what I use in trying out new ideas of my own creation.

The kitty design is one that I plan to explore further - I am deconstructing it and using the pieces for a pattern. However, I have already analyzed the object and plan to make a few changes. I will post what develops later on.
June 28, 2010 UPDATE:  This is still in the making.  I hit a "bump in life" in having to spend more time monitoring my father -- I am not complaining as that he is dear to  me.

What Are JellyBean Critters?

I have started adding stand alone pages to my blog. Look at the top and click on the link for further information about my JellyBean Critters. I will keep adding to the page when I make a new critter, such as HOPPIE, as pictured below. I enjoy making up new critters for my granddaughter. I get such delight when she visits my each weekend and asks, "What did you do this week?" We exchange information about her experiences in her second grade school life and about my endeavors, etc.

I made some pom pom chicks for her last week and plan to put them into a basket as an Easter gift in addition to HOPPIE, which she has not seen, yet. I have to get some photos done and post with this writing. There are not enough hours in the day.

Next week I will be focusing on making her two spring outfits. I went fabric shopping yesterday and enjoyed looking at the material and wonderful prints.

HOPPIE HAS ARRIVED!

(Click on image above to go to my Etsy shop, Cher Chic).

I have tweaked my creation for HOPPIE, primitive bunny, newest addition to my JellyBean Critters. The one pictured here is for my granddaughter. However, I can make more on request, which should be made no later than March 25th in order to be received before Easter. I can make the bunny from a tan, or camel, color flannel if so desired.
