Awww, those kitties! Stroke the pretty fur and listen to that sweet purring! And that stitched picture is awesome.

A bit more done on Garden cat. As I mentioned before, time seems so short with all that I want to do, so I'd love to know why I felt it necessary to start a new Crochet-along too :lol:
I really can't wait to retire so I can craft all day...

I reckon I'll be finished this soon. I think I'd better try to finish up some of my other abandoned projects though rather than start something new. (apart from the crochet, that is :roll: )

Wonderful. So bright and quirky :applesauce:
Retirement, sadly, doesn't give more time to stitch. :doh: It gave me more time to play on the Internet browsing all the wonderful things to stitch and the fabulous materials with which to stitch :lol: Ho hum! :tizzy:

WOW you sure are coming along with this bright colourful design well Carole, it is gorgeous. You started the new CAL because you saw it and 'had' to do it. Ahem, if you are waiting for retirement to catch up with all you want to do, don't count on it, I have been busier than ever since retirning. Just though I would mention that. :dance:

Whoo hoo! I have a finish :whoop: :whoop:

I love this design and am so very, very tempted to start another one by the designer. I do have one or two (cough) of the Pretty Little Cities waiting to be stitched.

I think it best to work on one of my many WIPs next though, but with three crochet CALs in progress, I fear there'll be very little stitching happening for a couple of months. Plus we're off on our hols next month :whoop:

And, as no post is complete without a cat pic, here's one of Rosie with Frodo in the background. At six months old, she's growing fast.

And one of my beautiful boy

and the look from "your beautiful boy" says 'what the heck do you think you are doing - where's my food''. He is gorgeous and I guess full of character. Lovely to see the other 2 bosses as well, Rosie is certainly growing.

CONGRATULATIONS :mexicanwave: :mexicanwave: A beautiful finish and a very interesting design.

Looking forward to seeing what you stitch next. :D

Frodo & Rosie are so gorgeous. How can they not be, being Maine Coons?
How is Frodo getting on with her? One of the reason why we only have neutered Tom's is that on the occasion we had a neutered Queen, she & the Toms never got on - the Toms got bossy & she refused to accept it - and eventually she moved in next door.

And the stitching - interesting finish. Well done on that.

Regards,

Richard.
