Dear dustmouth,

I am sure you have long ago fallen over, and i hope you are now sleeping soundly, having had a joyful day, but it is still your birthday HERE, so I don't completely fail. It's a semi-fail. I did, however, fail to finish your present (and fail by about a billionty at getting it to you). So you don't get inappropriately excited, here is the WIP, and I hope you like the idea, at least. I would certainly have finished the outline today, but I ran out of navy thread (and I was only using navy thread because I'd run out of black... you see how well-thought this whole project was). I love to sew, but I can't remember the last time I did. There are always babies around. My children saw me sewing and said "What are you DOING?"

Anyway, this is to say a small THANK YOU for all the lovely arts you give us. ♥ I have no idea why I thought you would like an ineptly sewn copy of your own work, but there you have it. :D I will send it to you when it's done and you can use it to clean up spills with, or something ;-)





Sirius' eye was HARD. This was second attempt and it's still not right. If I unpick it and redo with a felt tip, please pretend not to notice :D

The eye is beautiful, and I love how very Dustmouth it all is. And if Dustmouth doesn't want it, I'll have it! Although of course she will: we all need something to wipe our noses on. ;)

AAAAAH! OH MY GOD! :D
What do you mean by telling me I shouldn't have got excited?! This is so lovely and I just don't even know where to start saying thankyou.
Sirius eyelashes look amazing- they're so fine! (and I do apologise for making them such fiddly things)
I've just started doing a bit of embroidery myself, so I know what a fiddly, time consuming thing it is. Ugh I really can't say thankyou enough, this just looks so lovely already. I will accept it with open arms and grabby hands :D
Thankyouuuuuuu <3 <3

I am here from dustmouth's journal, and I must say, you got his eyelashes spot on! I don't even know how you can do it (and that it can be done), it looks delicate and clean and wonderful. Very very dustmouth! <3 <3

That is to say, it's gorgeous!
