Here's 'Mimi' in hot Pink Sirdar my 5 y.o can't wait until she's done....It's in moss seed stitch, a heavy fabric and hard on the hands so it's been slow going....I hope to have it done before her first day of Kindergarden in August! I think I should make her a pair of socks  to match in hot pink!! She'll love it! I'm sure she'll stitck out and never be forgotten.......LOL I hope she doesn't start trading her clothes like her teenage sister does........



The pattern is from Rowan Pipsqueaks book



Now loo at what I got in the mail yesterday!! So excited, the first contest I've ever won!

Isn't it  just beautiful!! It a big enough bead to use as a keychain and a stitch marker, I can't loose! I hate to have it banging around on my keychain I don't want to crack it or something. I may use it as an embellishment on  a purse or something. It sure will be treasured. Kim designs and makes them with propane and oxogen torches I guess and melts them from glass rods.. what Talent!! I was tickled pink to have won such a thing off her blog I ordered some sheepy stitch markers as a treat for myself... If you decide to order a set please mention me as your referral!

I design with lampwork beads all the time. They are tough! I wouldn't worry about it. Usually the bead artist tempers the glass so that it is very strong.

Shiny! Very lovely keychain... and the sheep are just too adorable for words. :) Nice socks too, btw.
