WIP Update

It makes quite a change to be stitching a pattern I didn't design- first non-Fangirl-Stitches piece I've worked on since January I think! I'm loving this piece- there's lots of block colours so it's quick to stitch, but still enough shading to keep it interesting. Hopefully I'll finish it next week so OzzyPip (Mum) can get started on piecing together the wall hanging.
The piece is called Advance Australia and comes from the Cross Stitch and Bead Weaving magazine.

I'm not sure if Skimbles was engrossed in my stitching and wanted to help, or if he was jealous of it and wanted the attention. Either way, he claimed my stitching arm and it took quite a bit of effort to reposition him. 
I'm off to Mackay tomorrow (4 hour drive). Unfortunately I'm travelling alone which means 8 hours of quality stitching time will be wasted. Oh well, at least I'll get to go to Spotlight and pick up some much needed supplies. 

Happy Stitching!

  1. It's looking good and I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds a cat will often decide they really DO want to sit on your lap or actually on the piece you're making!! It's a very good photo :) Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace

    1. Cats always seem to be at their most affectionate when you're busy! At least, that's always been my experience. :)

  2. What a pretty design Roslyn. I have a couple cats that like to lay on my left arm. It sure doesn't work well for stitching. Cute pic of Skimbles.

  3. If Skimbles is anything like my Bam, it's all about the attention!
