I got an awesome Pinterest surprise packge from chughes last night!

The most adorable little face...


Look at that tail!


(Don't mind the giant pile of crap in the background )

AND...the pattern to make one myself!


Thank you so much; it's an awesome surprise!!

I am so happy you like him.  He was so much fun to make.  Make sure you post pics when you make you own.

So cute!

I received a package from TroubleT this morning!  Three beautiful jam jar bonnets!  In the photo, it's being modelled with a jar of sundried apricot butter I made last weekend.  



Is it organic cotton or something because they feel ultra soft, similar to my organic yarns?  Either way, thanks very much and I'm hoping to work on a thank you card this weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone!

JUST WANTED TO ADD:  You can find the pattern for the bonnets on TroubleT's blog.

[TroubleT]

YAY! I'm glad that you like them dreadlocklove!

I just used Loops and Thread Cotton Club which is super soft. I tend to shop with my fingers first when it comes to fabric and yarn. It must be soft or I'll have none of it.

I created a thank you card for TroubleT this morning and will be mailing it out either today or tomorrow.

I received a bunch of crafty books from Jen Sews!


 
I haven't actually looked at the Nancy Ziemann book yet, but I love her so I'm sure it's great! I can't wait to try the fabric bowls, and DJ has already requested a project from the amigurumi book...


Momma and baby turtle!

Thanks so much, I love them!

Agh, I'm going out of town again this morning, and mom2em's package is scheduled to arrive today, so I'm going to miss it!  I will have someone get out to the mailbox and retrieve it, but I probably won't be able to see it myself or get pictures until the weekend or next week. I apologize!
