Meet Myrtle* - this amazing little creature arrived at my house yesterday. When I signed up for the pincushion swap, I would never have imagined that I could have received such a perfect pressie, in all my favourite colours!
Christy from Little Betty Designs has crocheted an absolute masterpiece for me. I'm sure everyone knows how much I truly appreciate the art and skill of crochet, because I've failed miserably at trying to learn it myself.
I don't think I want to stick pins in Myrtle just yet in case she is ruined. I think she'll be joining the gaggle of merry critters that live in my bookshelf instead.
Christy also sent me a lovely little crochet brooch - the perfect accessory for autumn. Thanks so much Christy and Kate!
* When my siblings and I were very little, we had a babysitter named Myrtle, so of course we called her 'Myrtle the Turtle' (nothing else rhymes with Myrtle - right?)..... as soon as I saw my little turtle, I just knew she was a Myrtle.
Cute! I don't know if I would use her either.
ReplyDeleteYes, what else rhymes with turtle?!
:)
She is so cute, I like that!
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes

Gorgeous... Being equally crapola in the crochet stakes, it's so great to enjoy others' skills in this area isn't it? Without doing the hard work ourselves!
ReplyDeletethis is so cute. the pincushion swap was the best ... i enjoyed it so much.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a gorgeous turtle! Myrtle really suite her.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Pip's crochet instructions? I can do a granny square now. I think making Myrtles is a bit beyond me for now though.
But of COURSE she's a Myrtle. And I should know.
ReplyDeleteMyrtle is such a cute turtle, I dont think I could pop pins in her either!
