Pincushion arrival

My pincushion arrived yesterday all the way from the U.K.!!!! Thank you to Linda for hosting this fun swap!! It was my first but definitely not last!! I love how it's the Royal Mail...
Look at the cute fabric she wrapped it inand another cute layer. Can you see the cats on this fabric too?Karol-Ann did a great job--didn't she? It's a little ginger cat pincushion :) Also included was a cute little tin (with a kitty) of some yummy candy. I forgot to take a picture of his backside...he has a little patchwork hiney. Too cute!
Lemon thinks it 's his... he put up quite a fuss when I took it away. Please don't look at the carpet...I've been doing some cutting but absolutely no vacuuming. I have no excuse either as I just bought a brand new vacuum. Thank you so much Karol-Ann...I love it :)
I'm editing this to add that Karol-Ann has posted the cute backside on her blog so go take a peek over there! I finished my pincushion the other night but I have to pick up a couple little tidbits to include . I'm going to pick up Janine right now for her Birthday lunch /party and hopefully she'll be up for some shopping after so I can get my package out tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Janine and Michele and Kim 3 good friends who all have birthdays this week!!! I love you guys (even though you never leave comments lol!!!) As soon as I mail it it's on to the cupcake swap over at Sharon's, fun, fun, fun!!!!

Don't you love swaps! I do. Such fun and that kitty is adorable. I just got a pincushion from my sister-in-laws trip to Hawaii and my dog took it right out of my son's hand!!! We had to chase him to get it back. Those naughty animals.
