I am totally excausted... so this really made my day!

The last couple of days I have been behind my computerscreen from 8 in de morning untill midnight, because I had to finish a website for an interior designer. She is having a restylingcampaign in a major womans magazine here in holland, wich will be out today and didn't have a website yet. She's a very demanding customer and it was a real challenge to realise her idea's into a working website! It meant a lot off consultations and working with only small breaks for dinners to make everything the way she wanted. But it's done and I'm in desperate need of getting away of my computer for at least the rest of the day.

Because of all the work I even didn't found the time to email Kate Henderson in order to tell her the wonderfull Backtack-package she made me arrived!

She is also the one who mentioned to me she saw my work on whip up! So I rushed over there to see and I am so proud to see one of my needlefelted art-pincushions and the girly-clown (I'm still working on!) being displayed there. Thanks Kate for telling me and thanks Kathreen for finding my work worth while mentioning there!

And here's a little teaser-picture of my finished backtack-softie. I'm affraid instead of arriving before the 10th of June it will be send off at that date but I hope Stephanie can forgive me for that.

I'm closing down my computer for today, I need to package my softie, the sun is shining and my hammock is calling me from the backyard ;)

Needlefelted from 100% woolfleece with a beautiful blend of red and brown. Embellished with woolthread and embroiderysilk and placed in a wooden base wich is decorated in the same colorshades with acrylic paint and finished with a matt varnish. It's one of my favorites.

Since my BackTack-package arrived at Stephanie's, I can finally blog about it and show a picture of the finished softie.

I made a Pointy Kitten using Hillary's pattern. Instead of combining several black and white patterns I only used a single striped cotton and attached a flowergarland around her neck using green as the extra color. I placed the name on a small bag the kitten is carrying.

I also decided to send here one of my pincushions as well as some extra crafting materials. She's a real talented lady also, so I'm pretty sure she will like it

I send it all out in a big envelope that I painted and printed with a cat I carved out of an eraser.

Shael left a comment on my blog and when visiting her's I saw this comic and I couldn't resist and I dare you to reply... this is not a blog this is my fridge ;D

Sadly I cannot read the name of the artist very well, so I'm not able to give proper credits.

I believe the weather will be ok this weekend so I'm planning to spend a lot of time in my garden. There's so much to see at the moment...

I maybe I even place my sewingmachine outside to make some other dolls.

Oh and last but not least... if you're interested in another craftswap Kelli is organising a “It’s a Wristlet World” Swap.

Shael left a comment on my blog asking a question about what's the best way to save a vector image for the web in illustrator and so I send her back an email with the answer.
