My Summer cat

Hi girls

Lot's of finishes those days around here =D
That sounds great
Here is my Summer cat =)
I chose an apricot fabric I already had to stitch it, and I changed a bit the colours of the glasses to match with the fabric and ribbon I used for the finish =)
I decided to make a sun glasses case with him , perfect for the sun glasses I have and it seems that in fact we both have the same glasses =D
Let's go for the Autumn cat...but I think I'll wait a little....and enjoy my Summer cat

Happy stitching girls

Summer cat from Cool cats

Life in a nutshell

Hi girls :D
I stitched this design last year but it was in my drawer with the other unfinished works... that happens when we stitch something just for fun, with no idea how to finish it :p Last weekend I looked at this little note pad I had at home and.. voilá!

One less UFO in the drawer, a new finish and a lovely gift for a friend :)
If you click on the image above, you can see a couple more pictures on my blog.

Hugs&Smiles to everyone!!

Gardening Snail

Gardening Snail, a mini project that I think of my summer exchange, but in the end my husband has convinced me of another design for my surprise gift.

The little snail is for our daughter Gaby Abi to wear a cloth travel.

I have not finished, I need the assembly name, which is an adaptation of the alphabetfrom the same artist.

Graduation

Hi ladies!

This was a gift for my cousin. In the fabric I wrote a message and stitched this hedgehod! =)

You can find this chart on Cross Sticher issue 218.

Have a nice day!

My portrait.

At the end of February I again became a mother! I gave birth to the son. Now I have three sons and two daughters. Time for an embroidery and needlework hasn't enough, but nevertheless I embroidered this pretty girl!

A finish and a surprise =D

A Finish and a Finish!

Hello again!

This month I have mainly been stitching on my Rose Garden Mandala, but I did take time out to stitch a little birthday card for the Craft Bubble "Crazy for Kitties" Birthday Exchange.

And this is the result!

Teacup Kitty - designer Margaret Sherry
Cross Stitch Card Shop issue 82
Stitched for Craft Bubble Crazy for Kitties Birthday Exchange

This cute little kitty was a freebie in the Cross Stitch Card Shop magazine, issue 82.  I used papers from various paper crafting magazines for the background and stitching surround.  The birthday greetings also came from a magazine.  The flowers and little butterflies were in my stash as was the gold ribbon that I tied into the bow.  The little bit of bling came from, of all places, the table decorations from my brother's wedding!  (Yes, I keep all sorts of strange things!!)  I made the 2 pins with beads from my stash.  This little cutie kitty will be in the mail to the UK tomorrow morning along with a couple of little kitty gifts.

I have also finished my Autumn Kitty into a little pillow.  I found the fabric for this a few weeks ago when we went to Handcrafters House.  Once I started to stitch the pillow I realised just how perfect the fabric was!  The pillow ended up being bigger than I had originally planned it to be....when I stitched the back to the kitty and looked at it I thought it actually looked nicer with the fabric on both sides of the kitty.... and so I continued along a different line!  Here is Autumn Kitty in all his glory!

Autumn Kitty - Cool Cats SAL

I haven't as yet started my next Cool Cat or my Summer Exchange, but they will be started in the next week.  I still have to "finish" off my Culinary Cats from the first SAL.  All the cats are stitched and I have now finally decided how to finish them off.  That may take a few weeks before I have another update on the finish.

Pop on over to my blog for further stitching updates!

Til next time, happy stitching

Cat cool summer

Hello friends okay with you?
This week I went to embroider my cat cool summer and got away, as I showed you a few days early, I gave up embroidery on white screen and our friend decided to search the Internet, which teaches us many things to be dyed with tea :) Black. Since I signed that I stitched both at the same time divide the days of the week for each one, and do you do when you stitch more than one?

Now is a cat in the hands of autumn.

Have a good Sunday, and continuing good sewing :)
