Random Acts of Kindness

with snow falling all morning

it was the perfect time

to pick up my hook...

the antique inspiration piece

is still on the back burner

so I drew up a little bird on a basket

(from a Cheri Payne pattern)

the finished project is going to be an

RAK gift

random acts of kindness

for one of my friends

in my ebay group...

how do you practice RAK?

A Card Request

and the

wonderful Ginger Cats

here:

If you can spare the time

please drop him

a card or note

maybe with a photo

or two of your furry friend

a simple

random act of kindness

to help add a

smile to his heart

Spoiled...

How sweet is this

needle felted and applique

wool pinkeep

my buddy Debbie sent me?

She used one of my designs

and made it come to life

with her perfect colors and handwork

http://woolnsails.blogspot.com/

and you don't want to miss

her latest hooked rug...

it's huge

and

so very old looking

just gorgeous!

little miss pippi

has her eye on Chester

planning her next move

Plenty of booklets shipped

last Friday and

more will go out tomorrow...

thanks so much !

A few new designs

will be available on linen backing

in the next few days on

my selling blog...

am trying to build up

The Chester Fund

I keep a special savings account

just for his vet bills...

he's been healthy for a while now

and while I'm praying it stays that way

history tells me that any minute now...

Swaps and RAK

~The photo here does not

do justice to these incredible woolens...

good thing or you'd be

drooling...

Bren and I did a great swap...

a box of my quilt fabric

for a box of

her woolens

~I think we are both

beyond happy about the

results~

Here's her blog:

http://heydiddlewoolies.blogspot.com/

if you need some great wool too...

she has a website

and an e-crater store that

need updating

but am sure an email

will work too

her wool

is magical

got me hooking again

after about a year

of doing everything but

Our Fall Swap

on the eBay group

was last month

ooh la de da

did I receive a great package

from Ginger!

and yes,

that is a bit of purple wool

hiding behind the candle!

Close up of the gorgeous penny rug

Olivia ran off with it first thing

but no harm done

and it's now tacked to the wall

in a place of honor...

Thanks again Ginger for the

wonderful gifts!

A special treat from Sharon

Nothing like receiving a

Random Act of Kindness

gift out of the blue

and she used one of my

little designs for the

perfectly prim needle punch

basket lid

It's

amazing in person

Thanks again for the

delightful package Sharon!

A Random Act of Kindness treat from Chris!

*you know her as

mysticalprimitives on eBay

A wonderful needlepunch pinkeep

and two old bobbins/spools with thread

Many thanks again Chris~

they are already up and away

from the little furry one

Doesn't she look innocent?

"Oh no

not me

I wasn't even thinking about

chewing off a corner of this

yummy looking green wool

nope

I was just passing by

and looked up"

Moday ~ Fall 2008

I do love fall...

the cooler weather and

sight of pumpkins everywhere

jump starts my creativity...

This is what the RAK items really look like...

grubbier in person

the cats now have eyes, whiskers and tags

The boxes are addressed and ready

just received an email that rusty wire has been shipped...

so by the end of the week

at least 6 gals will receive a package...

Out in today's mail

my hooking friends

who won
