Random Witterings!

Worked a bit more on the cross-stitch so it’s time for another photo   Leigh correctly guessed it involves a cat somewhere (surprise surprise!) but not what the whole picture is, so I can at least retain a little mystery about it

More soon!

Apologies to Rolf Harris for borrowing his catchphrase

So I’ve already started on my next craft project and it’s a really cute cross-stitch.  I’m not going to tell you what the design is other than that!  Yes, it’s mystery cross-stitch theatre

The picture so far…

More soon!

I really enjoy doing cross-stitch and have done it for many years.  I’ve finished a few large projects and lots of little ones as gifts for friends and family.  I’ve not really kept any kind of picture record of projects that have been completed, but as Tony kindly took some pictures of the larger projects that I kept, I thought I would post them here

This was the first large project I finished.  Probably one of my favourites too even tho I cursed it a lot when I was doing it.

As I had 2 cats at the time, one black (my old darling Squeak) and the ever cute ginger Bubbles, I loved this one as a representation of them.   Happily it is still appropriate as Fizz is also black

I couldn’t resist this kit when I saw it, it makes me smile whenever I see it on the window sill

This is the most recent one I’ve finished.  It actually took 10 years from starting it to finishing it but I didn’t work on it solidly in that time, I probably packed it away for a couple of years and did other projects in the meantime.  Also due to a couple of annoying errors, it ended up being unpicked completely and started again.  Thankfully it wasn’t too far along when I had to do that.  I’m still pleased with it now it’s finished and I just need to get a good frame for it.

I have loads of kits to be started so I will witter about it here when I decided which one to do next after the rug is finished
