Christmas all wrapped up!

Hi all,
This is my first posting at the MS blog.
 I stitched this MS Christma's cat - "Christmas all wrapped up!" -  maybe 2 years ago, for another group. Some stitchers decided to help shelter cats for a local animal organization and we stitch a dinner towel with MS cats.

It felt great to help with stitching, it was very rewarding helping and besides, I loved to stitch that cat.

First apron finished....!

last call!!!

Ladies, last day to sign in for our Christmas Card Exchange!!!
For more details, click here to read the post :)

Come on ladies, lets have some fun mail for this Christmas season!!! :D

If you are looking for patterns to stitch, remember to check our freebie section! "Waiting for Santa" would make a lovely card =)

UPDATE!!! 12/01/11
We have 11 stitchers at the moment, waiting for one more to make pairs! :)

Click, click goes the camera (not the shears!)

Hello again!  I just popped in to say hi and to show off my latest Margaret Sherry finish.  I haven't shown you this one before as I have been waiting for it to arrive at it's destination... but as it still hasn't arrived in the USA I thought maybe I could hurry it up by showing you all a picture.... that probably won't work but it sounds like a good reason to do a post!!

Anyway, I recently stitched the photographer cat for the birthday of an online friend of mine in the USA- Maribeth.  This card was part of the Craftbubble "Crazy for Kitties" group's birthday exchange.  Maribeth often tells me about the trips that she does around her home state of New York and I thought that the photographer cat would be the perfect fellow to stitch for her.  Plus he is a ginger cat as is Maribeth's kitty!  So two ticks in two boxes... can't go wrong!

The design has been published in one of the cross stitching mags but in this instance I stitched the design from the bumper Margaret Sherry Collection design book.  I so love that book - all those designs in one spot!

Finished card for Maribeth

Now all I have to do is wait for this lovely fellow to land on Maribeth's door step!

Pop on over to my blog for further stitching updates!

Til next time, happy stitching

SAL #2 deadline extension

We have new friends joining our group, also willing to stitch our SAL so...
...deadline extension!! :D ehehehe I think this will be good for many of you who are still a bit behind ;)

There's no punishment if you don't make it on time! No way!! Deadlines are just to motivate everyone, also so we can stitch along with our friends, it's fun to see everyone's works. That's the important word: FUN!! :D Don't worry if you don't make it on time, just make sure that you have fun while you're stitching ;)

But... It's true that I would love to see everyone finishing our SAL this time! :p LOL
So, let's make it until de end of the year, December 31st :)

Don't forget to check our previous post! I hope you'll join the party for the Christmas Card Exchange!! :D

Christmas card exchange!! :D

Is it too late for a Christmas exchange?? :p Here is my idea:

What to stitch?
Whatever Margaret Sherry design you'd like! You pick the design, choose the size, feel free to make your card as you wish! :)

Rules:
! Do not post photos before your partner receives your card, in your blog or here (let it be a surprise)
! Let me know when you send your card and also send me a photo to: msherrylovers@gmail.com
! Also, tell me when you receive your friend's card. Make sure to say thanks to your partner too ;) Lol
! As soon as you get a message from your partner, you can post pictures everywhere! :)
! I'll keep track of every card posted/received and on December 24th I'll post here all photos from our exchange. So, if someone doesn't get it on time, come here and see your 'present' :)

❄ You can sign up until November 30th
❄ I will randomly make pairs and post them on December 1st (but you can start stitching today if you'd like)
❄ Everyone has to post their card on the mail until December 10th (cross your fingers for goodluck and hope that the postman will take your card to your friend in time for Santa!! :D hehehehe)

My apron

Hi girls

My first apron for Xmas is progressing !
I just finished 'Mum' :D
It's Domestic Goddess from the 2008 calendar (October)
I didn't stitch the crown because it wouldn't have suited with my apron and the idea of a family of cats I wanted to give :D
Let's start 'Dad' and then I will be able to start the second apron for which I still have no idea of which designs I will stitch......
Hugs from France
