Three Things I Like and One I Don't

I accomplished three things today! I finished my first little cross stitch, made my first mitered picture frame and my first gift bag! I used an old map to make the gift bag. I found Katie's tutorial at at Miz Mary's.

I like how my little project turned out.

Can't show you just yet because it's a surprise...

Now here's one little thing that I DON'T like! FLEAS!

This evening I bathed the dogs, gave them and the cats medicine and fogged my bedroom. Tonite when I go to bed I'll fog the rest of the house. We may all be gassed in the morning, but hopefully the fleas will be dead!? I'll tuck a towel under the bedroom door and hope for the best.

When these little buggers start jumping on ME it's time to take action!!

Like my grandma used to say, "Sweet dreams, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!"

I really hope we don't have any bed bugs...

Waiting for the Glue to Dry!

I'm making my very first piece of furniture for my dollhouse! A sofa! I'm using the tutorial I found at MMM Miz Mary's! Let's build a dollhouse sofa.

So far, so good! Now I'm just waiting for the glue to dry so I can put it together!

The fabric is from one of the napkins I got at the Dollar Store. It's a bit plain, but I'm planning to make some snazzy pillows to brighten it up! I love doing counted cross stitch too!

I used a piece of an old mattress pad for the stuffing because I want a comfy sofa!


I still have to cover the little template that goes on the arm of the sofa. I'm also going to try to make a pleated skirt to go around the bottom. That will have to wait until tomorrow...

I'm off to bed. Don't have much time to do minis during the week but this is so much fun! Hope you have a peaceful evening! See you tomorrow!

Blessings, Kathi
