Kitty is done!


Hi there,

The Kitty is done so now back to the background which is tone on tone so super hard to follow.  It's flower pots in case you can't tell!!  Then,  I thought I had made a mistake but they are offset so I don't think I did (not that you would ever notice) so I kept going.  I may put a colored thread through as a guide just to stay on track.  

Can't wait to get back to the flowers!

Sleepy Kitty

I was originally going to make this into a pillow but now that I've been through the stitch guide and seen the ribbon work coming up....it will probably be framed.  If I can finish the body of the kitty today,  I can try and do that one flower to see what it's going to look like.



Happy Monday xoxo

Going through my Stash Looking for the Next Project

Now that I am almost through with Happy 4th I've been thinking about what's next.  There's so much to choose from!  Some big, some enormous but mostly medium sized.  It took me a month to finish  Happy 4th so if I choose ginormous it won't be to finish it- just make progress.

There's the Lani bunny collage




The Melissa Shirley hummingbird canvas - the ginormous one- there is a stitch guide.  Well, they all have guides and threads.  Look at the little guy holding it down - better finish him too.  I had to order the evertites so this will not be next up.





I also have a Mystery Hummingbird from Ruth Schmuff but that is not in North Carolina so I'm saved.  My inspiration...out my husband's office window.




Then there's my cross stitch project for my daughter Molly who is now known as Margot - at least it's the same initial!




And another one for Molly who loves cats.  This is one of the group of HAD TO HAVE IT canvases in my stash.  I bought this on sale from Ruth and she wrote a stitch guide.  I actually worked on this last night because the border is tent stitch.






Will probably continue with the little cat in the flowers for now - just to be able to finish something.
Watch,  it will take me all of August!


Stay safe and please wear a mask to protect others.
