Stitch-A-Thon weekend

I have a finish! I can't believe it I actually did it! Here is my 'Festive Cheerkat' in all his glory:

Finished size: 5 1/4" x 6 1/4"
Fabric: 28 ct antique white jobelan
Floss: DMC
 
Many are making New Year resolutions, setting goals etc., I do it for my next 'annual cycle'. One of my cycle resolutions is to finish every stitched piece as soon as it is done stitching. I know I suck on finishing but, hey, practice makes it perfect, right?

This month I also finished 'July Angel". I stitched her for Debbie from our Birthday Club.


The weekend is only half over, hopefuly I will have more updates for you.

So long my friends,
Evalina

  6. Love the meerkat and the angel is lovely. And good for you for full finishes - it's so easy to have a pile of completed stitching that is unfinished.

  8. I love both of them! Is the July angel a Lavender and Lace pattern? It looks a lot like my Celtic princesses.

  16. How pretty your angel is! And the "cheerkat" is so cute - looks like the little guy from "The Lion King". You always find the best charts! I have been busy beading bracelets this week, so stitching for me.

  18. Congratulations for finishing the Festive Meerkat! I stitched one for my 2nd son for his birthday. He has the design hanging on the wall. He plans to have it framed. I love all of your stitching projects!
