A Stitchery and a Survivor



Two weeks ago Kim put out a call to swap stitcherys and I answered that call. Kim stitched up this wonderful poem written by her daughter Emily and it is now hanging on my wall. In return I sent Kim a stitchery but forgot to take a pic before I sent it off. Shame on me! So it will be a surprise for Kim when she opens it. Hey Kim can you send me a picture of it when it arrives. Thanks bunches.


Now on to this little guy.

Last Thursday at 7am my aunt who was on her way to school came knocking on my door with this scraggly looking little ball of fur. She found him lying in the middle of the highway. He was very cold and shakey and breathing heavily. I wrapped him in some blankets and fed him some soy milk. As he got warmed up his head started to swell above his left eye which he could not open and he was barely able walk.We were not sure he was going to make it thru the day. But he proved us wrong and is getting stronger each day.He looks to be only about 2 to 3 weeks old. We think some animal may have taken him from his mother and dropped him on his head. He is a little bobtailed kitten. Today he was up and out of his box walking all over the floor.We weren't sure that he could see but his sight seems to be coming as his swelling goes down however we are not sure he can hear because he doesn't seem to follow sounds. But it may still be too soon to tell the extent of his injuries. He's such a little thing but seems to have a strong will to survive

Aprons





Got my apron from the Booming Aprons Halloween in July swap. We were to choose Fall or Halloween aprons. I picked Fall and here is the apron I received from Kathie V as seen on my unwilling model. Who agreed to model only if I would not show his face. Isn't he adorable,LOL. Kids are so funny sometimes.



Anyway it is reversible and I love it. Thanks so much Kathie.






Look what else she included. A little scarecrow knick-knack, I love scarecrows. and a much needed oven mitt with some wooden utensils.











Kathie chose a Halloween theme and here is the apron I made for her. It was the first Bib apron I had made. I was worried how it would turn out and if Kathie would like but she says it is perfect.
