August, September,Halloween, Thanksgiving

I know I am a bit behind AGAIN!! I am making them and getting the shots but not posting, here anyway.

Lets start where I left off on the last post.....August I have 2 birthdays, September has 2 birthdays and 2 anniversaries, October has Halloween 5 birthdays and an anniversary, November has 2 birthdays and Thanksgiving! I have all the Christmas cards done and stuffed, The calendars done other than one I want to add a few things to, 2 birthdays and 2 anniversaries for December. I won't post the December yet so that no one gets a sneak peek.

Not in order....... OK ........Thanksgiving first

I drew all of these. Pencil sketch first, then pens and colored pencils.







September....paper piecing all by hand and drawings



October...more drawings and paper piecing





Still October....this is a requested stocking for my niece, for her cat! The cat's name is Bluebonnet. I made the bluebonnet with puffy paint on felt and then used a blanket stitch to attach to the velvet stocking. 

Notice the cuff with the also requested wording: Madison's sweet kitty Bluebonnet in the requested "gold glitter".

My sister, Melanie got 3 felt snowmen  ornaments for her October birthday!



Another of Madison's gifts....a shelf sitting fairy made from beads, yarn and pipe cleaners
July.....The inside of the wedding card below for another niece and her husband.
