Lovely randomness!! I too am taking part for the first time in Kat's postcard swap, Liberate your Art! Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a card done by one another!!
Love the cross-stitch...the recipient will have been delighted!
And I'm loving the Easter bonnet on the chickie in the post card...reminds me of all the bonnets my mother had me wear when I was a child!
Your cross stitch is lovely--you do good work! :-)
One of our cats loves to bat around pieces of ice. She looks like an ice hockey player when she's whizzing it around the floor. We have tons of toys for them, but they do find the most interesting things to play with, don't they?
ahh, sweet postcard, don't ya just love those vintage postcards. Love your stitchery. I used to do cross-stitch, then bad eyes and a little arthritis set in..oh well.
I love the way kitties play with simply things - mine always used to chase my daughter's hair ties. The cross stitch is adorable, I used to do that, but haven't in years. Have a wonderful weekend!
What patience is displayed in the beauty of your cross stitch gift. The recipient must be someone very special. Love that vintage post card too - so cute!
I have several unfinished cross stitch projects - sometimes, i get a little too ambitious!! That rabbit must have a good set of lungs!

Snap, On the lost art of letter writing: I like sending cards and decorating them with stickers. I think it's fun to send loved ones a little note to let them know I am thinking about them.
I finished reading The Cider House Rules yesterday. Excellent read.
That's a great cross stitch! And what a wonderful gift.
I laughed about the soccer game with the kitties. We have bought all kinds of cat toys but the things they like best are an old rawhide shoestring with a bit of ribbon tied on the end, and any kind of paper.
Snap~ Home IS where the dogs are!! So cute, I'm sure your recipient is thrilled! Adorable vintage Easter post card!

It's Friday.
Sit back and relax.
I have some random, this and that, things for you.

Thank you, Nancy!

Since today is Good Friday and Easter is Sunday,
here is a reproduction vintage postcard celebrating the holiday.

No artist, publisher or date was listed.
Can you hear the music?!!!
Thank you to the lovely Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.

Sometimes the kitties think simplest toys are the best.
Like an empty box.
In this case, it was a waded up piece of paper.
I think the sound got Cassie's attention.
I threw it across the room, Cassie fetched, and we had a game going that's lasted all week.
Of course, the other two had to get in on the act and two more pieces of paper gave their all in
two furious games of soccer for Teddy and Mina.

I mentioned that I finished a counted cross stitch project.
I couldn't share it with you as it was a birthday gift.
The gift has been delivered and here is the project all finished.

This is a kit I purchased from The Stitchery.

I'm taking part in the Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap.
This is my first postcard swap and the reason I liked it --
I could use photographs of art I had previously made.
Five postcards (goes well with 5 random things) could be made of one image or more.
I made five different postcards using 4 Index Card a Day images and one tea image.
Kat Sloma put the swap together and I should be seeing postcards in the mail by mid April.
I'll share as they come in.
Thank you Kat!
*****
I've started reading As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DevotoFood, Friendship and the Making of a Masterpiece edited by Joan Reardon.
What a lovely book and what lovely letter writing.
It really makes you think about the lost art of writing ... and writing letters.
I'm taking the letters a few at a time.
Wishing YOU well and much joy this holiday season.
Happy Spring!
