I opened it and saw a Silkweaver plastic bag with yummy fabric in it, but Outi put a note on the outside that there was something tucked inside the fabric and I could choose whether or not to wait for my birthday to open it.  I held off opening it&#8230; until Sunday night.  In a moment of weakness, I opened the bag, pulled out the fabric and unwrapped the most gorgeous, tiny biscornu I have every seen!  The funny thing, Outi, is that I&#8217;ve been meaning to make one for myself on this scale, just to have one that teeny and to see how it would turn out.  And here you&#8217;ve already done it for me!<br \/>\nOuti said that she chose the fabric named Starry Sky and the floss from Polstitches named Love and Laughter just for me.  Isn&#8217;t she sweet?  [Edited to add:  Outi says that she hand-dyed the fabric herself!]  It&#8217;s stitched over one, too.  It&#8217;s absolutely fabulous!  Not to mention that the fabric that she sent is beautiful, as well.  It&#8217;s a nice warm, neutral color that will go well with several designs that I can think of.  Maybe I&#8217;ll stitch a dragon on it in your honor, Outi.  \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Misc-BlogPics&#038;id=Birthday_Gift_from_Outi_2006\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/albums\/Misc-BlogPics\/Birthday_Gift_from_Outi_2006.thumb.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Misc-BlogPics&#038;id=Biscornu_from_Outi_2006\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/albums\/Misc-BlogPics\/Biscornu_from_Outi_2006.thumb.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/center><br \/>\nPlease take a moment to click for a better look at the beautiful biscornu.
