My partner was Dawn B. and I heard that she loves "Kitties", "Bears", "Snowman" and colour "Blue", so it was very easy for me to choose the design for her!
I have chosen this design "Kitty Litter" by Brittercup Designs for her and finished as a Pinkeep.
In the original design, there was used green shade threads for the border, but as I heard that she loves blue, I changed it!
I used blue multi coloured ribbon and made top pin with blue beads.

I also made some head pins for both right and left sides of the Pinkeep, like this (* right hand side photo).
And here is the backing fabric which I used for the Pinkeep.This time I just have chosen very simple blue gingham check one which was the best for this Pinkeep, I thought.
(This time I didn't add "wee pocket" on the back"...)
I added some goodies (you can see them on her blog...) with this Pinkeep, but I had extra time and thought this isn't good enough as a Birthday Present, so I made very small thread holder with a little blue bear design which I thought she would like.
I used blue flowery ribbon and on the back I stitched her initial and year 2008.It was the first time for me to join in public exchanges (experienced once in Japanese group, though), so I was a bit nervous and worried if she would like them.
But I've got a sweet e-mail from her today, so I'm very glad and feel so relief now!
Anyway, I had fun to join in this exchanges and think it was very good experience and opportunity!Thank you Edgar who is an owner of SBBC and thank you Dawn B.
