Happy New Year, all! May all your hopes and dreams come true this year. I've never been big on new year resolutions but I guess the one resolution I should make is to keep this blog updated. It's been two months since I've last written. Not good. Then again, I don't have a lot to show for those two absent months. In fact, this is the only finish I have to show so ladies and gentlemen, come celebrate a very belated Happy Dance with me.
This is "Crafty Cat" by Margaret Sherry. Finished him about 2 months ago. The original design was stitched with Anchor threads but I used DMC threads instead, which are also provided in the chart but I think the cream colour for his face is too dark. Oh well, he's still cute, isn't he? Getting all tangled up in that mess. However, I'm pretty certain if I had a cat and it did that to my stitchy stuff, cute is definitely gonna be the furthest thing from my mind. Hehe...As for what I'm working on at the moment, here they are:
"Chorus Line" by Valerie Pfeiffer is stitched on 28 count cream lugana. This is the first time I'm stitching her designs even though I've seen them around for a while now. I really like her birds. They're so fluffy. Unfortunately, after I was done stitching on this bird, another project caught my attention and I've been working on that since.
And here she is, "The Romantic Stitcher" by non other than Laura G. Lattuada of Passione Ricamo. The fabric is Zweigart's Vintage Country Cream (Marbled) 32 count linen. It's been a while since I've picked up something this big so completing her will definitely take me a while. However, I'm having so much fun stitching on her it hardly matters. Her face is stitched over one, a first for me, and I must say I really like the effect thus the extra work is worth it. Just don't expect me to work on her arms and hands anytime soon. ^.^

Beautiful sititching! You are one very talented lady! Thanks for visiting my blog! I am enjoying looking around on yours and I will come back to visit you often!
Ah, got the exact same problem years ago with Crafty cat ! We had a big debate about it at the time... So my crafty cat looks like yours, not the model...
It's a common problem with Margaret Sherry patterns of that time, I also stitched "Bathroom mice", and the colours are all funky...
Your chorus line will be great ! And so is the Romantic Stitcher !
Hi :) Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I enjoyed looking through yours! Romantic Stitcher is lovely! She looks so much better in your picture!
Your kitten is adorable, gray face or no. It's very difficult to find Margaret Sherry or Valerie Pfeiffer charts in the US so I'm jealous!
Your Margaret Sherry finish is so adorable! Nice start to romantic stitcher!
