Well, I have been so excited about my first swap! It's the Books and More swap on Ravelry and I can't wait. I went to the bookstore tonight and bought a couple books (one for knitting, one for fun) for my partner, and I have the yarn, so all that is left is the hand made items I will finish on Monday and some fun goodies... like sweets... I was lucky because my partner's likes and fav things coincide with the things I can hand make! Hopefully I can have it all in the mail next week so she can get it nice and early. It's neat though, such an open ended time frame to mail the packages because you just never know what day you are going to come home to a lovely box!

So I did decide to name my kitty Zelda. I though that with her large-ish ears that was sorta fitting, but really, when I looked up the name and found it's meanings I decided that it was perfect.

Origin: Old German
Meaning: woman warrior, gray fighting maid

And she is rather spunky...


See the huge ears?

And while browsing through some patterns, and deciding what would be best for a certain person, I found one that WAS perfect for a person... Sheriff Star Pasties! My friend Kim's hubby works for the sheriff dept so I decided she would appreciate them... and they took no time...



yay for pasties!

I originally found the pattern on Ravelry of course, but here's the blog it's published in...
