Well first of all you guys need to kick me in the pants!! I had no idea that the spectacular Jo had offered to put $10 toward getting a piece framed! Her entries don't show up in my reader. Nor do Daffycat's. I hope there aren't more people not showing up -- if so, I'M SORRY!! I just thought you all were quiet posters, lol! But now that I know people are hiding from my reader (LOL) I can google the blogs. If I've been missing anyone else, let me know. I may have to create a bookmark folder so I know I'm checking them all! :)
BUT YAY I can get something framed! I have e-mailed a local framer for info regarding FFVII options. We'll see if she breaks the bank. I hope not, 'cause then I can get FFVIII done too! And then I can really call my home The Home of a Needleworker! :D
And now, IHSW! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get anything done this weekend as it was the Fall Festival and I'd be out of the house quite a bit. I got something finished even though it was technically finished before, haha. I got the felt backing sewed on, yay!
I think next time I will leave the edges straight omygoodness! That was some crazy stitching all around there. I'm not sure orange was the right choice but I think orange and black for Halloween and that's how that happened. I'm not so good at floss tosses, I suppose. And of course after I stitched the back on, took pictures, and admired her I realized I forgot to stitch her little cape ribbon on!! Aaaa. *facepalm* It'll be an easy fix as long as I'm super careful...
She was stitched on black 14-count perforated plastic in six colors plus the orange blanket stitch for the edge. I backed her with a piece of black felt. She's modeled on my chopstick lamp and is 3.5" tall. You can find the wonderful pattern on Carolyn's blog, along with a whole bunch of others! :D Also her dA has more!
Now I'm off to catch up on everyone's posts~ I'm sure y'all will have productive fingers again this week, much more than mine, haha. :D

Haha, yes, I hope you'll appear in my reader as well! :D
Thank you for sharing the site where you got your little kitty - I saw so many really cute little cats. I think your choice to finish came out wonderul.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome; she does adorable little patterns so I'm glad to link them out! Thank you very muchly~ :D
DeleteSometimes I have to manually add a blog to google reader to subscribe... go figure.
ReplyDeleteThe orange floss is perfect for the kitty!! Too cute. :D
I've had to add several... several times! I'm trying to figure out if there's some sort of magical method to the madness but nothing yet!
DeleteWhy thank you, glad to have confirmation that I'm not going insane, ahaha. :D
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Carolyn, her cute kitties totally ruined my planned stitching as I HAD to start on them immediately I saw them!
ReplyDeleteLove your witchy kitty, wonder if I have time to stitch one more kitty before Hallowe'en?!
Ahaha, glad to be of disruptive service! I'm happy you enjoyed them too. :D. They are totally adorable so how could I not share and get more people to love them! I'll have to get o'er to your blog tonight as it has been a while since you've shown up in my reader so I'm sure it has gone amiss again! Maybe I will see more kitties!
