A Winter Exchange and a drum roll please

I received some beautiful gifts as part of my Winter Exchange with Julie!! She stitched me this gorgeous winter mitten (I think it's a JBW design).

Isn't it sweet?!! And she added some winter fabrics with snowflakes, Christmas cats (!!) and a piece of warm soft flannel she used for the back of the mitten!! I love them all!!

Thank you, Julie, for a wonderful exchange!! Stay tuned for the catnip mittens I am making with the template you added!!
My half of the exchange is still on it's way so fingers crossed it will get there soon!!

And now for the giveaway. So many of you were willing to give the kitty pinkeep a new home, how wonderful! Lucky for all of you I could strike a few names off the list, making your odds of winning a little more favourable... *grin*. Yes, I confess I did manipulate a little, but only because these lovely ladies will receive one of the other kitties I stitched. One of them is my mother, who left me a comment very kindly asking me if family was allowed to enter... ;o)... Absolutely, but in this case, there was no need, there's a little package on it's way to you as we speak...!!

As you can tell my lovely assistant was mightily impressed by the proceedings... NOT... LOL!!
But in the end she was a good sport and played along... I wrote all of your names on little pieces of paper, and let Kisse play with them until one of the pieces dropped to the floor...

Here she is watching the name of the winner fall to the floor...

The name of the winner ... tada...with the kitty all wrapped and ready for its new home... tada... Congratulations Becky K!! Please e-mail me you snail mail address.

I'll end with a stitchy picture, here's my progress on Hallow Game Board by The Primitive Needle...

Until next time!!

Your little Kisse is such a cute helper. My naughty kitty was just scolded for trying to eat the parakeets. :) Congrats to Becky!

Love your drawing method! Methinks you have a very talented cat! Congrats to Becky K!

Nice exchange from Julie, and I really love the color/fabric combination on "Hallow Game Board." I'm also impressed that your finish on this should be ready well before the appointed season. Now that's planning!!
