Itchy Fingers!




Since making my 4th of July place mats I've had itchy fingers!
I got the GHook, some Lily Sugar N Cream cotton and made a teacup coaster!


Crochet Tea Cup Coaster


While I was crocheting and dreaming of tea cups
this beauty arrived in the mail from my good buddy Deb at Just Cats.


Glencarry Thistle Tea Cup


It is the beautiful Glencarry Thistle pattern by Foley.
I love the aqua color and it fits just right on the teacup coaster!


Glencarry Thistle Tea Cup


I LOVE Mail Call!
Thank you so much Deb.
I promise to enjoy the cup and take good care of it.

Introducing The Princess Mina




I'd like to introduce to you the Princess Mina.
At least she thinks she is a princess!



Mina



Mina is around two years old.
She was found in late March in an empty apartment with her 5 kittens.
Lucky for her, a kind person found her and took her to a local no kill shelter.
She was fostered while she took care of her babies and I understand she was a very good momma.
When her kittens were old enough, Mina was spayed, taken to the shelter
and placed for adoption.


Mina Mosaic


That's where I came in!
I met Mina at the shelter and fell in love with her.
She is a lynx point siamese with who knows what else and a bobbed tail.
Mina now lives with Teddy, Cassie and moi.
So far, so good! 

Mosaic Mina


A big thank you to Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.

Purr!

Lovely place settings and delicious teas and goodies
and a real treat to be served in the midst of one of the European galleries.

I had a choice of three teas -- all organic.
