Kitty stitching

Sorry I didn't post those pictures yesterday evening as promised - the evening didn't exactly go according to plan. But here they are at last. Those designs are from Marie-Thérèse Saint-Aubin's newest book, Chats au point de croix - I absolutely adore the book and if I could, I'd stitch all the designs in there.

So here's a brown cat strolling on a cream fabric

(thread: Gentle Art Walnut)

And here's a cream cat grooming herself on a brown fabric.

(Gentle Art thread: Apricot Blush)

And here's the cat of the house, sporting her winter coat:

Violette is getting fluffier every day, and looking more and more like the blinkie kitty on top of this article.

Please keep me in your thoughts and/or prayers today... I don't want to have you concerned or anything, but I could sure use a few positive vibes.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Oh, Isabelle, you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and my best wishes always include you! How did the whatever-it-was go yesterday?

Violette is stunning. And she obviously knows it! Those cat designs have such a delightfully sophisticated look to them. How will you be finishing them?

Isabelle said...

Thank you Barbara... *Hugs*. Actually, it's today (Friday)... the entry was misdated, I've fixed that!
As for the cats, I'll probably be finishing them into pillows.
Thanks again :)

{{{{{{Isabelle}}}}}}} - loads of virtual hugs and good thoughts being sent your way, of course.

Love your 2 cat pictures, the style is really different. Violette is looking very cuddly in that photo :)

Take care of yourself!

The kitty blinkie looks exactly like Violette! That is so cute. Sweet little kitty things you have been stitching too.

I'm sending positive thoughts to you today, dear Isabelle!

Here's a big aussie hug and some positive vibes. Love the kitties - they look fantastic!

Tanya said...

Oh my goodness - Violette is gorgeous! She looks very 'queeny' in this picture. Is she Maine Coone or Persian? Looks like my Maddy but different coloring. Your kitty stitching is purrrrfectly lovely! Hope your day and weekend go well ~ I'll be thinking of you.

Carol said...

Wow, those cats are so pretty! You are always in my thoughts and prayers - good luck today :-)

It's morning here so your working day is probably done. Hope you felt all the good vibes coming your way. You must have!!!
Your kitties are all so adorable - Violette looks so content.
Have a wonderful weekend Isabelle. Don't forget to take some time for yourself. That's what we all need in order to stay healthy & happy.

My thoughts are with you, Isabelle! I hope everything is going alright.

Those kitties are fantastic! And Violette knows exactly how gorgeous she is, doesn't she? lol!

Zoanna said...

How about some prayers? They are so much more powerful than good vibes:). As a matter of fact, can you do the same for me?

Isabelle said...

Well, to me Zo, those qualify as good vibes too! ;) Why shouldn't they :)
I'll do the same for you!

Cathy said...

Sending good vibes your way Isabelle...{{hugs}}

Violette is a fluffy cat!!

AnneS said...

Oh, Isabelle, you've got me worried ... hope everything is OK with you - you're always in my thoughts, but today you get some extra big {{hugs}} in those vibes for you. Hope whatever it is that's ailing you is quick to resolve! Your kitties are all gorgeous - that's a very unusual style, and very elegant - and of course Violette is always just totally divine and gorgeous, and I want to pick her up and give her a great big smooch :D {{hugs}} to you my friend. Drop me a line if there's anything I can do for you :)

Those kitties are SO effective, nice work!

Hope you're feeling better now ma petite.=)

Bisous, Elisabeth=)

Michelle said...

So glad everything went alright at the doctor! I love these stitched cats, they are beautiful and simple in the implied lines. And of course, your little lovely Violette is just beautiful! Hamlet isn't quite as fluffy as she is, but our weather can't decide whether it should be cold or not.

Jenna said...

Wow, I really love those elegant cat designs. Do they make any for dogs? :) Violette looks gorgeous in her winter glory. I hope to be able to pet her some day.
