Major HD...

...but I can't share a pic!! :( I finally finished the model for Karen, and it is winging it's way back to her as I type. It sounds like it won't be released until next year, so I will just have to wait a good, long while to share.

Luckily, my next model can be shared! I am stitching Mirabilia's Silver Moon Tea for Mel Munsell of Colours of the Outback, which is her fabric dyeing company. Mel is currently in the process of getting a website put up, but for now you can see and order her beautiful fabrics on her blog. She also has a group on Facebook, and we'd love to see you there. :)

Here is my start on Silver Moon Tea, being stitched on a color called Rosey Glow on 28ct opal Lugana:


I can't wait to get more done and see this one come to life; the colors are just so pretty!

And while I stitch, my faithful stitching buddies keep me company; here are Mai Ling and Keishu, in the chair behind mine:


These two belonged to my mom, before she moved into an apartment that had a pet limit, so my other kitties tend to pick on them. So I let them come into the basement with me, and my craft room becomes a wonderful refuge for all three of us!

Hope everyone has a great stitchy weekend!

    Hi Melanie! What a lovely looking chart (and great looking fabric for it!) I'm not really a cat lover but the seeming fondness everyone has for them may slowly convert me :) How nice of you to permanently host your mom's cats!

    Hi Melanie, it's Marilyn again.
    I wanted to e-mail you, but I don't see an address.
    I hope you see this message. :)
    I was looking at your gorgeous finishes in your little video, and I would like to know what fabric you used for the Halloween Fairy.
    Thanks!
