Mail Call for Kidbean

This is Monty's Kidbean. (this picture was taken last summer)

He has been feeling "left out" because he doesn't get any mail. He wrote a nice letter to Mom, asking if she would write him a letter. Of course she did.

Would anybody else like to send him a picture postcard of something in your town? Or maybe a picture of your lovely feline self? Or a short note (remember he is only 6 years old) saying "Hi"? Or maybe a little drawing or little story about yourself? Something cute and fun.

This isn't a "let's send the kid 8,467 squillion postcards to set a world record" kind of thing. I don't want to freak him out. But he might really enjoy getting some [snail] mail, and in these tough times, I think it can make everybody smile a little bit.

Email me at darlingmillie AT gmail DOT com if you are interested. Because Kidbean is only 6, you have to tell me who you are, and I (or the CB) have to know you. I'm not gonna give his address to strangers. Because, he's practically my own fambly, and I want to protect him.

Thanks!


Don't forget about the Gizzy Quilt Raffle to benefit the Cat Blogosphere's own ML. Tickets are on sale through the end of the month. The Paypal button is right up at the top of the blog, on the right!

And the quilt I was napping on yesterday can be seen at Mom's Quilting Blog.

Monday Madness

These letters are sewn together from fabric, free-form, without patterns. This is sorta practice. Mom doesn't like the Z's (too fat top and bottom) the Y's (too skinny). She thinks the B needs some work. She really likes the G, O and S.

I told you Mom's been lurking in the Quilting blogs. She really likes Tonya's Lazy Gal Quilting. (Tonya has cats too!) Anyway, Mom found Tonya's tutorial about free-piecing letters and decided to experiment.

She definitely has a plan for these letters, when she gets them right. You'll get to see. Mom says not to hold your breath.
