Isn't it cute? It's got a basketweave stitch basket, embroidered flowers and even a bunny finger puppet inside. I had so much fun making it and I hope Grace loves it too ;0) It's going in the mail first thing Monday along with a postcard of Montreal and the other (very boring by comparison) heart square I knit before the inspiration struck.
And now some sad news. My husband's family cat, Shmootz, died very suddenly on Thursday morning. She's the younger of their two cats and just ...died. Stephen's dad was there when it happened. Apparently, she just fell to the ground and died. He figured she must have had some kind of heart attack.
The saddest thing is that Stephen and I can't even remember our last encounter with her. We were there on Monday, but don't remember seeing her. She must have been outside chasing spring bugs. She was a happy content kitty like the best of them and she will be terribly missed.
Go give your pet some extra love in Shmootz' memory.
Go on...
that is way way cute, anny!
ReplyDeleteYour square is so, so cute! You have a knack for cuteness!
ReplyDeletethat is the cutest little square ever. (the one with the bunny and basket)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the kitty. The bunny basket square is absolutely perfect - a finger puppet? I'm sure Grace will LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteGreat squares! Sorry to hear about Shmootz. I gave both my boys an extra hug today.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I'm so sorry about the cat...
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome squares! I love the basket-and-bunny one -- too cute!
THANKS!!!! for the great links to the free patterns.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really creative little square, it even has surpises. you must have tons of wonderful cool ideas floating around in that head of yours.
ReplyDeleteYour squares look great. I LOVE that bunny one...so cute!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Shmootz. It's always sad when a beloved pet dies. I am not looking forward to that day when my Tinker Belle dies. She's 8 years old now (human years, not sure what that is in cat though).
Sorry about Shmootz. We had a guinea pig that did in a similar way...OK one minute, gone the next. Very sad. Your square is amazing...totally puts mine to shame!!!!! You could make a whole cube out of squares like that, stuff it and it would make a fantastic baby present. You're so creative! Kate (my daughter) was reading over my shoulder and she said "Wow". You were "wow-ed" by a twelve year old...you must be cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great square. You really do get creative when the juices flow, don't you? And you execute brilliantly!
ReplyDeleteOh that bunny sqaure is so, so, so cute! Did you find the pattern somewhere, or made it up as you knit? I just love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best square EVER. Holy cow is it ever cute?!!? I'm sure Grace will love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your hubby's kitty. That is so sad. Give your hubby a big ol' hug from me, k?
I'm oooohing and aaaahing over that square. You are a genius. Love it, love it, love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Shmootz. I will give my kitties some love (and protect them better from the toddler) in her memory.
Okay, now I don't want to send me square...yours is too cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnny, I just got over here (been sick as you know) and I love the squares! You are amazing! I can't wait to see it for real!
ReplyDeleteI am really sorry about the cat; losing a pet is so hard. I'll be giving the dogs some really big hugs and kisses for Shmootz.
