And second, a teenie weenie crocheted kitty. The pattern includes a long tail so you can use him as a bookmark. But I omitted that to use him as an embellishment on some as yet to be decided project. You can find the pattern here along with several others, but beware there is one mistake in this one. The directions omit the 'turn' after you complete the head. If you followed the directions as written, your kitty will have both legs on the same side of the head!
Also, I received a lovely mail-art envelope from my partner, Liz, in the Stitchin' Fingers mail-art exchange. Liz chose an apple theme. I love how she used an apple print for the lining. I'm busy studying this one to see how she did the construction. Liz is a very accomplished needlewoman so I knew she would have some great ideas for this even though this was her first attempt at mail-art. And be sure to check her blog to see all her fine work and especially the incredible dolls she makes!
WOW!! It's absolutely gorgeous, Annie! You two were well matched in this exchange.
ReplyDeleteCute card and the crocheted kitty.
ReplyDeleteLovely Mailart received, another finishing i would like to try one day.
That's the perfect stitchy card for a bicycle enthusiast. The kitty is adorable. I will have to check out the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy looking at mailart, that one is definitly fabulous.
Take care!!
Love the Alternative Energy finish!!! ;D
ReplyDeleteI love the cat, so glad the legs didn't end up on his head.
ReplyDeleteThe mail art envelope is lovely, how excitihg to receive that in the post
Thank you for "plugging" my blog so nicely (blushing here). I love your bicycle card. A row of those kitties would be so cute along curtains or on a smock. But I'm trying to imagine how the kitty would look with both legs on the same side! Good thing you spotted that error, huh?
ReplyDeleteCute finishes Annie! I got a good chuckled about the kitty ;o)
ReplyDeleteLovely mail art! I still can't believe these are put in the post :oS
