More Mousie

My husband, Dave, loves my Peek-a-Boo mouse.  Any time I am working on something and he sees me, he says, "Peek-a-boo mouse?"  I usually have to answer, "No." and he always seems so disappointed.  So I decided to make him a Peek-a-Boo quilt.  I am using the drawings I made for my monthly Mousie, as well as a few new ones.  I have been working on this in plain sight of him.  He asks me the same question again, and I answer, "Yes!".  However....what he doesn't know is,  it is for him.  I have one more block to applique (there are 12) to complete the middle of the top of the quilt.  I may have to buy some fabric for the borders I want to do....but he will have his "Peek-a-Boo Year" quilt top for Father's Day.  He hasn't seen the whole thing together, so there will still be a bit of a surprise.  Plus, there are a couple blocks he has not seen.  Have a peek at one of the new ones I drew....January, my little snowball juggling mouse:

Annabelle makes an appearance in March, as the "March hare," along with her 3D four-leaf clover:

and a few blowing leaves for October (That darn thread fairy left another one!)

A little more

Here she is...a little bit more of Annabelle with her pom-pom hat to keep her warm.  Also take note of the sparkly snowflake.  There are a couple more of those, too.

And another look at little Puck:

A little peek at yet another new small adventure for Annabelle, along with her new friend, Puck.

Stay tuned!

Peek-a-Boo Mouse

Have a peek...I started working on those little monthly Peek-a-Boo Mouse monthlies again...here is May:

A May flower and three visiting ladybugs. :)

Block 2

And another one finished...Block 2 of Reiko Kato's Sunbonnet Mystery quilt:

All the little kiddies having fun jumping rope and swinging on the swings.  :))

Veggies

Did you eat all your veggies as your mother told you when you were young?  Well.....I didn't necessarily eat all of them, but some of them.

I showed you a preview of Annabelle with her basket of veggies.  Now it's time to show some of the veggies...made from wool felt and fabric and floss.:)
First, one that turned out to be one of my favorites...the mushrooms, along with a bit of polka dot lettuce:

 Now...I can distinctly remember my mother saying..."eat those peas and carrots!"  A cute little radish added to the mix, too.

 I can smell the pumpkin pie baking now:

 And I love corn on the cob...some juicy, red tomatoes and well...not so much (unless they are in soup) the string beans.  I really like how the string beans turned out.

So...some veggies for cooking...some for salads and a few for pies!

Digitized Annabelle

Wow!  Look at this:

Annabelle - digitized! Diane, who has done my long-arm quilting, loves digitizing patterns for her Babylock embroidery machine.  Take a peek at what she did with the first block of Annabelle's Christmas.  The actual embroidery for this took approximately 30-45 minutes.  A completely different view of how she can be done, instead of hand applique.
