Cats Alphabet

I started this project on 6/6/99 and thought I'd get it finished quite quickly well 11 years later I'm still stitching it and will admit that until about 5 days ago I hadn't stitched on it for well over a year.  The end is in sight as there is only the border to finish now and the back stitch mice and cat whiskers.  I've put it on the floor frame and although it's a bit big and finding somewhere to stand it so it's not in the way is awkward, I am finding it much easier to stitch on now.  Hopefully it'll be up on the wall before long.

Update 22nd July

I've surprised myself this week and have stitched quite a lot.  The part of the window on this chart page is very nearly finished.  Work finishes at 12-20 tomorrow for 6½ weeks so plenty more stitching time!  I might even progress onto another page.

Wizard of Oz update 13th July

I 'fell out' with this design for a while after having to unpick a lot of stitches.  I picked it up last week and enjoyed stitching it again hopefully I won't leave it too long to try and get this page finally finished!

Wizard of OZ update 1st April

After losing the 'stitchy bug' I finally picked this up again yesterday not done much on it but hopefully will have more to show on it soon.

Blackwork Sampler

I made this small blackwork sampler for my 13yo's form teacher for her 30th birthday.  I hope it is fairly easy to understand, her favourite things, Radley Handbags, shoes, cats and the colour pink. She was delighted with the sampler, it was my first attempt at a blackwork sampler and was so quick and easy to stitch.

Wizard of Oz update 4th January

I moved house 3 weeks ago and have only managed about 3 days stitching since.
