Number 5 from The Netherlands, from Andrea in Groningen. Member of postcrossing. The postcard shows Floddertje, a little girl who likes being dirty and hates being cleaned up!
These two books by Jonathan Kellerman, but with different covers:
This one is from Petra Trolenberg in Germany, again a member of postcrossing as well as bookcrossing. It is a restaurant called Wettin Haus in Wurzen, Sachsen (Saxony), close to Liepzig.
I’ve up and joined yet another yahoo group on Crochet. This time it’s Crochet Talk, and I stumbled upon it from Karla‘s blog. Dunno why I keep doing this, when half of the info might be irrelevant to me (no wonder I call myself Misfit!) here in India, but an addiction is an addiction is an addiction. 
No news on any of my postcrossing postcards reaching their destinations…Is it just me or does the Postal Service worldwide like making me fret? But the good thing is, my blogging has encouraged lots of other people to join. I myself have Barbara to thank, of course, and Cristal for the bookcrossing.
First, the good news:
Yes, my doily has arrived from my swap partner, Susana aka Kevspepper at Crochetville.
Isn’t it a lovely colour? And the work is so neat, too! Susana also added a cute needle holder, about the size of a coin purse.
Open, it looks like this. The needles will be stuck into the foam thingy lining. So nice!
Now for the bad news.
My swapee partner wrote to me that she has received the envelope and the letter I wrote her, but not the doily! Arghhhh! Waaah! As you can see, I don’t know whether to scream 
or cry
. Scream in anger or cry in disappointment. Apparently the envelope had been slit open (presumably by the customs, I knew putting in that steel hook was a mistake 
, those people probably thought it was a weapon of mass destruction or something…) and there was no doily in it. Bah!
Since it is now lost anyway, I thought I’d reveal what it looked like:
My first-ever Irish crochet piece and it’s now lost. What a shame!
My first-ever completed towel topper! I’d made one the other night, but was too lazy to hunt for a matching button, so when Pam aka Navymom at Crochetville posted the no-button towel toppers she made and the links to the pattern, I didn’t have an excuse! Presenting my towel topper, made shoddily with refrogged yarn and photographed in poor light:
Sunset Sunday (on Monday again!)
I tag Veronica, Cordelia, and Kimberley!

5 Things I Miss From Childhood:
1. Midnight bedtime stories from Shakespeare from my dad.
2. My cat Polly
3. My crush on Boris Becker (amongst others)
4. The smell of fresh Chapatis my mom made with ghee on them.
5. My long hair
Phew! That’s done, finally! Sorry, Lori, I took so long!
