Re: HAED O Kitten Tree (Spangler) Page 7 finished 10/3/2021

Post by rcperryls »

I have 3 Spangler Christmasy Cat Charts (1 I got and 2RAKs)and couldn't decide which to do. Kept changing my mind. Then I won the Bingo game and decided I would let the cats play "bingo" and decide which one we would do. So I put the names of each chart on the back of a package of needles which was empty (have no idea why I save these) turned them over and put them on the table, knowing that within minutes one of my furbabies would knock one off. Of course, it took forever. I don't know who knocked one on the floor (actually I am surprised all three weren't on the floor) because I left the room for a while) and O Kitten Tree was on the floor so it became my newest start as I have been through my rotation twice and so am allowed a new one. Long story. This is what it will look like (hopefully)

This is when I got home after my stitching group last night. I took everything out of my tote bag, started to make a cup of tea and stitch a bit more

and after a total of about 16 hours this is my first update. Got a lot done since the border was pretty straight forward. Lots of confetti in the first gem though.

Wow, you've gotten a lot done already! It looks great!!! And love this design - will be anxiously awaiting updates.

I know what you mean about the confetti with the gem - it's the same with the mini Spangler I'm working on. It's amazing how it ends up looking though.

Neat idea on how to pick the next start!!! Cats know all :lol:

Thank you all for your replies. This one is fun to do for sure and I am missing it already. One thing I have discovered about rotating projects is that I have yet to get tired of one and am always eager to get to the next one. At least my new starts will slow down a bit with my 2 rotation "rule".

I knew someone had this in their WIP list, but couldn't remember who and there hadn't been a thread. I hope you will get back to it soon as I would love to see someone else's stitching.
