Here's to Friendship!

Remember this photo? If you've hung around Plushpussycat from the beginning, you may remember the story of Houndstooth Pup and Raccoon. After an initial misunderstanding, the two critters became best friends:


As I was lying in bed early this morning, I thought about how grateful I am for the friendships I've made since starting this blog. Every time someone becomes a new follower of this blog or leaves a comment on one of my posts, I feel so touched. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to each and every one of you who is reading this post now and who stays in touch with this blog. Thank you so much! I'm sending a big hug to each one of you!

Some news:

If you follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter, you know that my handmade plush critters regularly get featured in Etsy treasuries. Right now, Plushpussycat is featured in a cool treasury called The (Cat) Eyes Have It!

I have so many miniature story vignettes in the works, so please continue to be patient as I develop the scenes and stories. Upcoming: more about the bunnies, including some twists and turns; a frog story; a bear story; another story with Raccoon; and many more! I recently simplified some other areas in my life so that I could spend more time creating my miniature story vignettes.

The other thing I want more time for is making miniatures. Caterina's Holiday Swap was so much fun, and I got a taste for making minis then. I want to make more! Once I've carved out time for that, I'll be able to participate in more mini swaps AND to hold another *giveaway*--yay! So hold on tight and invite your like-minded friends, because there is much more fun coming in the next weeks and months.

Thank you again for your friendship. I love following your blogs too! Without all of you who read this blog, I would just be talking to myself! I look forward to getting to know you all better over time. Here's to friendship! :-) Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer
