Happy Dance at last!

Yes Crafty's finished, and I even just washed it! (I love laundrying my finished projects, don't you? It feels sooo rewarding... )

The couching was a PITA. Not really difficult, but tedious. That being said, I still think it was a wonderful idea to include this in the design, it renders - or rather, creates - the mess of threads so well!

This kitty took me way longer than I had expected. Not because it's hard to stitch - quite the reverse! - but because I've been soo busy with my work. I could only afford to devote a little time to Crafty, every other evening or so.

Never mind, Crafty's fully alive at last, making its mess with threads, just as any cat may do! Seb loves it. I intended to hang it over my "crafty" corner, but he wants it hung in the bedroom so we can both enjoy it!

Yes, your craft is lovely to see. Such things lighten up your day, aren't they? It is always a joy to finish something, but also to start another...

Adorable! I can't wait to do this piece. Are you going to get one of those wooden hoops to frame it in? Great job :)

So adorable! Great job! I love your signature, it's fantastic!! I think you completed this project fairly quickly considering you didn't have loads of time to devote to it. :) Can't wait to see it framed. :D - Kim
