Autumn Exchange and Kitty Pcis

Last week I received a lovely package in the mail. It was my Autumn Exchange from Kath. She stitched me a beautiful pumpkin she made into a flat fold and sewed a stunning tote bag. Kath is also going to be kind enough to send me instructions on making the tote. Allen and I sat staring at it for a while the other day trying to figure it out:) Aren't the colors lovely and just perfect for fall. Kath also included some cute autumn napkins and fall colored DMC floss:) Thanks Kath!!!















And now for some kitty pics...unfortunatly the best one is hard to see. Thursday I came home from work and could not find either of my kitties. Neither one was in their more obvious afternoon nappy spots. When I went into our bedroom to change into my jammies for the night, I noticed the comforter I had folded on the floor had unfolded itself a bit. Upon closer inspection, I found that Cooper had made himself a nest in it. This is as close as I could get without scaring him off. Unfortunately he is a black cat sleeping in a black blanket. If you look really hard at the end by the stand fan and mirror, you can two greyish little circle...those are his ears:)














When I got a bit closer he ran off, but I took a pic of the hole he had made for himself. He was all cute and cuddly:)















I have been stitching this week. I worked on Woodland Fairy, M9 and started Christmas at the Seashore by By the Bay. I hope to post progress pics later this weekend:)

Beautiful! That's a lovely design and the tote bag is great.

I wish I'd signed up for this one. I had too much to do but it's the first exchange I've missed that I really regret. Oh well. Maybe there'll be an autumn-themed one next year! :)
