Here's a little thing I made. It's not extra mini, but it's crocheted with embroidery floss. I just made it up as I went, and I really like it, though I'm not sure what I'll do with it now. I thought about using it as a top for a pincushion (over fabric, of course), because I need a new pincushion, but I'm not sure it's what I'm after. Maybe I'll just hang it from something and look at it now and then.
In other news, I ran my Race for Life on Sunday, and it went fairly well. I'd done almost all my training on a treadmill, with only a couple of poor runs on actual ground. I wasn't actually sure I'd be able to run the entire way (I've never been particularly fit, you have to understand), but I did it! Huzzah. Thank you to everybody who donated to my fundraising; I'm really pleased with that aspect of the 'project,' along with the whole running thing.
Gorgeous crochet, i think it would look lovely as the top of a pin cushion. I did the Race for Life a few times when i lived in the UK, i ran the first and walked the second ;-)

Congratulations for completing the run! I consider it money well spent for many reasons. Could your little thing be a coaster for hot cups? I could use such a thing.

It looks like the baddies' hand on Indiana Jones where he picks up the red hot iron thing and the pattern burns into his hand. But bluer. Can you use it to find lost cities?

Crap -- how did I miss the donating part. I'll go look for that. And your rosette is perfect, Anna! You're a great crocheter.
