This precious wee kitty made her way from Seattle to California yesterday. Isn't she the greatest?! And look, she came with a matching zipper pouch and strawberry pincushion.
And just look where Kathy of Pink Chalk Studio signed her name .....
A beautiful monogram with back-stitching and french knots
And this very cool package (made from the cutest Kitty word print fabric) of my very own grow-your-own-strawberry kit (with wool stuffing!!!), Kathy's favorite needles, some handmade tags, bookmarks showcasing Washington's local artists, and the coolest thimble on the planet!
Thank you soooo much Kathy! I LOVE everything and am really happy to have participated in my very first online swap. Hmmm ... ah, our lovely friend has just informed me that her name is Talulah which means Leaping Water in one of the Native American tongues (she wasn't sure which one).
EDIT: Nancy of Belle Epoque just let me know that Mr. & Mrs. Back-Tack arrived safely at her home in San Francisco today. :-)
