Halloween Stitching

someone got carried away with those pumpkins!

I combined 2 Pineberry Lane patterns

Winter Sampler 

by Birds of a Feather

this will be tea dyed

there are cream snowflakes

I chose to use one color instead of the two called for

the bottom area is very personalized

 more Pineberry Lane stitching

I absolutely love her

*****

time to clean up my stitching mess

so I can do some hooking and finishing

Happy Gorgeous Weather !

Fall and Halloween Stitching

in the latest edition 

Punch Needle and Primitive Stitching

*****

a couple of things...

great lighting and cheaters make all the difference

when cross stitching

I'm actually hooking again

and working on fully finishing some of my stitches

Robin, please email or message me

Pumpkin Stitching Ahead

try not to be jealous of Olivia's fancy bed

this is how she likes it

a rarely seen sighting of her underbelly

only safe when Melrose is in the garage

 found in my stash

during the wool room deep clean

a chart from 1995

finally, the right time to stitch it

mine will be much more prim

*****

I found my unicorn chart/book the other day on Ebay

The Bells on Christmas Day

my second in line is Kindred Spirits

by The Primitive Needle

Hope everyone is keeping hydrated and cool

even with the AC on Melrose likes to sleep in front of a fan

this is the look I get

after he sniffs my Carmex lip balm

it's his own fault

because he has to check out anything I'm holding

Log Cabin #2

Log Cabin #2

this one sort of designed itself

forgot to take a photo after the faces were hooked

too late

it's on the way to a new home

pattern available on linen

I'll be back soon with more 

Log Cabin #2

 Log Cabin #2

Whenever I share a rug without a black cat I hear about it

This one is about the same as the first one

with the addition of 2 black cats

pattern on linen available

As for yesterday's comment about taking that huge rug apart

will not happen

my NC sister wants it

so I have a year to get it done

90* here today

I'm done being outside

Giant Pink Flowers

 

My latest design

I'm stuck in a loop of black cats

flags and lollipop flowers

19 x 11.5

available on linen or paper

These two were great fun to hook!

Another of my new designs 

Cat in the Flowers

adapted from two antique rugs

With more free time 

I see a lot of hooking in my future

Five Black Cats

 

the auction starts tomorrow

Forgotten Felines HSV Auction on Facebook

please join their page to bid

I always find an item of two I NEED

*****

starting a rug for myself today

am home recuperating with bilateral pneumonia

tethered to oxygen

first time for me and I'm grateful for it

I hope you are well!

One of a Kind

 

I've been working on this runner

for a few weeks

finally got the finishing done this morning

53 x 13

                                       without a doubt

this one turned out exactly as imagined

there is another cat and pumpkin rug on the frame

using the same wools as this one

then on to other seasons

***

at this time I am not drawing up patterns

on linen or paper

the rugs I create now will are

one of a kind

this will probably change in the future

I'm thinking 2022

It's a beautiful fall day here in Ohio

wishing you 

time to enjoy!

Cat and Kitten

Cat and Kitten

my design 2020

26.5 x 18

this is my donation rug for 

Forgotten Felines HSV auction

beginning this Saturday

on FB

so much fun to hook

thinking of making one for myself...

Thank you to everyone who purchased a paper pattern

the money went to 

Angels For Animals

to help feed local cats and dogs

New Rug and a Few Freebies

started this yesterday

using just worms so far

will see if I need to cut something as it progresses...

 Freebie

I think this is one I never shared

or sold or whatever...

use this as a starting point

hook two cats, less stars, more pumpkins

Freebie

from one of my first pattern collections

a favorite!

you might give the cat a Santa hat

change the pumpkin to a snowman head...

use the word merry

 *****

*please do not share on Pinterest or other online locations

Have fun with these patterns

all I ask is that you give me credit for the design

don't sell the pattern in any form

you may sell your finished work

no mass producing

and all the usual respect the designer requests

I have plenty of patterns to share

especially of cats

It's a dreary, rainy afternoon in NE, Ohio

perfect for getting back to hooking my black cat rug

Black Cat Appreciation Day

 looking through some old photo albums

I came across some punch needle pieces

of dark grey and black cats...

I have no memory of this one

not even a little

  

Roscoe on the Pumpkin

this one I do remember

it was going to be first in a series of Roscoe pieces

turned out to be first

and only 

sort of remember these...

oh memory where have you gone?

  

except for Olivia

she's more about black cat leave me alone day...

which so far is never
