Here Kitty, Kitty

I got the needlelace for the pussycat all done.

Now I get to pad him with felt and apply the needlelace.  Woo-hoo!  The goal for today is to get kitty all done.  The pieces don't look like much.  They are tiny.  I didn't even have to redo any of them.  Maybe I'm getting the hang of this?

I finished up the stitching on Let It Bee.

 I wasn't sure if I wanted to stitch the border.  I thought I would do a little bit and think about it.  So far:

Amy Mitten has sent my Ruff kit.  It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get here.  I'm expecting it next Wednesday.  The lessons are posted.  I looked through the first one and it looks easy!  But then Amy's directions are very much step by step.

Mary Corbet reviewed a new book from the Inspirations magazine people.  It is called "A Passion for Needlework".

 It got a rave review.  I have the book on order from Amazon and can't wait for it to arrive. It's one of the books I ordered with my gift certificate.  It is being released next week.
