A Small Finish

Towards the end of last year, a kind member of the 123Stitch MB had a giveaway for a Mill Hill kit of a little gray Christmas kitty. She asked people to leave a comment on why Christmas was special to them, and she chose my reply, in which I said how thankful I was that my mom and her four kitties were now safe, healthy and living with us at our house. I recently pulled that kit out, so I would have something easy to work on at the laundromat and during a movie at my friend's house, and here is the result:

Also pictured is a Mill Hill Tiny Treasured Diamond ornament that I stitched last year. The kitty actually came with a pin backing, but I prefer him as an ornament. :) There are some great people on the 123Stitch MB; if you ever visit, my board name there is chloerose.

So now, it is back to the model. It is a pretty large piece, and contains quite a few fractionals, so I find the need to take a break from it once in a while and work on a simpler piece. I pulled out my L*K Halloween Rules, and next time I'll show you a progress pic (and it's even on my WIP list!).
