Stepping up and Making Changes in Blogs

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share that I am making some changes in my blog It's Just Krazy Kute Productions.
This will be my store officially where you all can purchase my hand made items. In that blog I will just have a short introduction to an item I am adding and I have give
n the blog a bit of new look and I think it came out pretty interesting so I hope you will check it out.
I am planning on keeping It's Just Frankly Kute pretty much the same with and intro to a new product into the store blog, hope this is making some sense. I still plan on sharing ideas, crafting, recipes and what ever else that comes along I just wanted to share the great news about the fresh new changes for a new beginning.
I have added a new product to It's Just Krazy Kute Productions
The new product is called "The Strangest Puffy Cat. I created this animal from an old pattern but the pattern was for a very small animal and so I enlarged it and made it my own with various characters. I will be adding some of these that will be designed for smaller children, this one is not for small kids
. I used fiber fill, a cotton quilting fabric for the body. I also did some staining to make the animal appeared aged slightly and there is a bit of hand stitching done with the nose and missing eye. Yes he is just like the little bear I have talked about, I just happened to love this fabric and the look one get with it that I had to design another animal out of it.

Just a Wild and Crazy Pillow for any Room in the House



Once again my brain was feverishly working to come up with a different looking pillow maybe for young girl or an adult who loves cute things.
One of the first things I did was to use no patterns for this idea everything is just cut out by hand, well accept for the cat and I did draw that out and placed the pattern piece over the fabric to cut out but the cat is my own design.
I used an old wood coat for the main body of the pillow and I liked the look and idea of leaving some of the seams in so it was planed that way.
Next came the cat which is a wild leopard print the fringe and some color buttons were all added to complete the pillow. I filled the pillow simply by using a little fiber fill.
Yes I also meant for the shape of the pillow to be totally off the wall as one might say, it just a very simple fun idea to create this applique pillow and it is one of my favorites.
