Re: ATC round 2
Oh good, I'm so glad it arrived safely!
The fabric is one of my absolute favouritest, the 36ct mercerised cotton evenweave from Fabric Flair (it's closer to 35ct really, but still very nice and fine). It's available from Sewitall, but they're currently redoing their website so it may not work very well.
It's a bit expensive, but I managed to get some cut pieces on offer at the craft fair, so they were a bit more affordable. It's definitely worth the money though, as it's lovely to work on, very smooth.

Re: ATC round 2
Waiting for me when we got home yesterday was Angel's bunnyrabbit -- thank you so much, it's gorgeous; and as for its unfortunate carrot habit, I'll just feed it so many that it won't look at another one ever again !

Re: ATC round 2
A Butterfly flew out of my mailbox and found a home with another card and lots and lots of flowers to flit to. Agi it is more beautiful then the picture showed. I too think that butterflies and snowmen can live together in harmony. These are so much fun.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror

Re: ATC round 2
Oh I hope he does, it's over a week now since he was posted and I took him to the post office in the village, so at least he can't be sitting in a post box somewhere.
Hope he turns up soon

Re: ATC round 2
The wayward frog has arrived, it sounds like he might have been paying Wendywombat a visit and I have reprimanded him suitably!
T-bear he's lovely, thank you so much, and I love the metallic thread on the lettering and eyes - it really looks great. He is sitting on my computer desk, well away from my sewing just incase he's tempted, and next to little kitty (so cute T-bear, thank you) to keep him under control!

Re: ATC round 2
I'm so glad the naughty frog has finally arrived!! I can't believe how long he took, but then I guess it is a bit of a trip over to France and Wendy!
As to the kitty ... Hmm, well, as you can tell, art is not my strong point.
I'm pleased you like Mr Frog Un.

Re: ATC round 2
Hi Alyson, Yes, it arrived the same time as my Granddaughter, I am positive I posted in this thread to thank you, but I can't see it now, very odd, it was a mad couple of days, I may have been dreaming
It is so spot on to my Cat, she really does walk all over me, thank you so much, love the little kitty on the back
