I thought to myself "those look a lot like Middle of Nowhere's work..... interesting". And then through the magic of facebook followed links back to here. I laughed when I showed up on your blog. It is no wonder, I always adore your work. I am still in awe of the immaculate finish that you get on your needle felted pieces. Amazing! Its fun to catch up on your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-16948147628035558482011-09-28T17:42:11.535+01:002011-09-28T17:42:11.535+01:00Dear Gretel,

This post o...Now here's a funny thing, Gretel. This post of yours has led my memory back many decades...6 of them for the technically inclined, to a time when I was a little girl longing for a kitten.<br /><br />I used to clip pictures of kittens out of magazines and concentrate and concentrate on those pictures, willing them to actually come alive, giving me a lovely little kitten.<br /><br />Well. No kitten sprung from those clipped out pictures in my scrapbook. I learned to read, took up with words and lessened my sole obsession with pictures, and actually fell in love with a beautiful beagle puppy...my very first pet. <br /><br />Still never had a kitten or cat for a pet. This in now way keeps me from greatly admiring your lovely feline creations. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-63755492034095249102011-09-21T02:48:57.931+01:002011-09-21T02:48:57.931+01:00Sherbet Lemons, oh my, can you still buy them?
