cute and flattering top!  It will definitely be comfortable in hot weather...thanks for the tutorial...

I actually think the way you did it is brilliant! So cute...love the little clothes...

ha--after I made him, I thought the same thing, which is why I made him a garden patch to sit in...

Poke the patch...

Bushbaby--yes!! I have the chullo hat pattern in my queue as well!  You must get a pic of her wearing it!

I just frogged about 8 rows of my lace shawl...I have such a hard time when I make a mistake finding it and fixing it...I hope in time, I will get better at it because it is frustrating to have to frog one stitch at a time...ugh

Well, worry no more!!!  I received your cards! WOW!  I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety...but now sending them off is going to be tough...I am going to have to save the ones I want for myself or special friends...will post pics later tonight when I get some good pictures!  Thanks!

I think you did the hardest part---and it looks terrific!

You took a cute theme and made it your own!  What adorable and creative stuff!  I love the bird nest ring a lot, but all of the Hello Kitty stuff is just wonderfully fun!  The plaid one is my favorite!

I want to do the larger brushes as well...I think it can be any size...I am also hoping to be able to use used paintbrushes that have some "character"...

aww--they are cute!  Glad you put your phobia aside...perhaps there will be more bird projects in your future

I just spent an hour reading about this organization...than ks for sharing...I had no idea that this was a problem in parts of the world...I have lots of fabric and colored flannel...I think I will join you in making some of these...
