I liked the other download better!
These are so cute! I will make cards with them.
These are great! Have you thought about having them digitized as machine embroidery designs?? 🙂
These are awesome, Cathe! Thanks so much. I also noticed that when I print the new downloads out, they are much clearer than before. You're a gem!
These are really darling. Thank you.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing these!
These are really cute! I like to use icons for my kids' chores since they can't really read – and a couple of these are chores they have, but I've never seen icons of before.
I think it'd be super cute to have a couple enlarged on the wall of a laundry room. (Note to self: Get a laundry room.) 🙂 Love them.
PRECIOUS!!! Thanks so much!!

These are too cute! I love the idea of hanging them in the laundry room! I think I'll use my cricut to cut a few from vinyl and stick them to the washer and dryer.
Thank you so much for sharing them!

Love the ironing on the table rather than a board although I'm slightly concerned about the first one on the second row, looks like she is about to cut the babies head off!!
Those are all silhouettes of my mother back in the day! You're right, she was darling!
Thanks for sharing, Cathe!
Super cute! Oh the possibilities!

These could be cute posted up in a little girl's room!! A bunch of them on the same wall!

Not sure what I'll end up doing with them at the moment, but I must have them since they are SO DARN CUTE!!! Thank you very much for your continued generosity Cathe and Happy New Year!!!
You have such great freebies and you are so generous. Thanks so much 🙂
I was thinking of printing them on magnetic sheets.
Hi Cathe – I just added your vacuuming lady to my side bar with a link back to you. Your designs really are clever. I will have to try that flip-book trick. I am looking forward to meeting you in Nashville.
Oops – I forgot to say thank you.
Thanks for the Silhouette images!!
I made a card with Molly Lee's
instuctions. It was so much fun.
God Bless You and Yours!!!

Your blog is *just* fabulous! I'm not sure WHY it wasn't in my google reader, but it IS now! 😉
I would love to use these on cookies…if I had a projector, that is!
Thank you, once again, for wonderful free goodness! I used three of these little ladies to form a series of framed prints for the kitchen. You can see the write-up (and link to you) here.

They are just WONDERFUL!!!
