    Hi everyone,

    Cute banner vikki-louise - good luck with the finishing touches - I'm very unskilled at that!

    Love the cushions tricksie

    f-o-s - I might (might) just be at the bottom of my stash by 1-2-34 if I don't buy anything else between now and then :rotfl:

    The postman has just been and guess what.....drum roll please..... still no exchange piece :huh:

    You are most welcome Ailsb - makes up for the very plain exchange piece I sent you - I don't make cards so had no embellishments etc. - mine looked really dull compared to all the others :(

    Enjoy cub camp - stitching by bonfire-light?? :D

    We do seem to share the same tastes! You definitely need evenweave for this because there are a lot of vertical and horizontal fractional.

    DH liked this so much he asked me to make three more for his daughter, sister and niece, hence this photo.

    Cats, cats, cats WIP 10.12.13 by tricksie1066, on Flickr

    Would like to finish this before the end of the year. We are going away on New Years Day for four nights staying with relatives in Bristol so would like a nice new shiny project to take with me!

    I don't usually fall in love with cats tricksie but these ones are so cute. I bet the people who are going to receive them will love them too. :T

    Especially as the next "consecutive" date is 1 - 2 -34 :eek:


    So we have another 20 years for the next one fos? Don't know whether the eyesight will still be good enough to stitch by then. Oh my goodness - just worked out how old I will be then :eek:

    Have a lovely weekend everyone.

    Haven't got any stitching goodies on the Christmas list but mil normally gives me money which I will save until I go to the stitch show at Sandown Park on 25th January. Haven't been to this show for many years but it is where I bought my first cross stitch kit so really looking forward to it. Will help with the January/ back to work full time blues.

    beautiful, the nicest cat x-s I've seen and so neatly stitched, it really makes an impact.
