Jo's January Finish

I have finished the stitching but not the finishing!!  It's a little bit big for an ornie and my son has no use for a pillow finish so I think I'll be scrapbooking it then getting another 12inch box frame for his bedroom so we can swap the designs about.

That means a trip to the craft shop which isn't on the books for a little while yet.  I only get a 20minute break when I'm at work so there's not time to eat a sandwich, drink a coffee AND browse the craft shop!  So it could be half-term before I get there.

Anyway, here's the finished stitching.  Is the wide eyed kitty the cutest thing ever?

It's a freebie from Silver Cute Dwarf's blog.  It's actually quite big and wasn't an easy stitch, there are lots of vertical and horizontal stitches rather than 3/4 fractionals which made counting tricky.  There's alot of stitching hours in this one!

Next month is the cat so there's lots of choices there.  I'll be back on the 1st with my decision.

Jo's January Choice

Hello all, this is my introduction to me.

I'm "Jo who can't think of a clever nickname" and I blog at Serendipitous Stitching.  I attempted the Christmas Ornie SAL last year and failed miserably with only one puny finish.  So when I saw the Hallowe'en SAL I looked at the themes, searched through my charts and mags and decided I could actually do a little better at this one.  Let's face it, I couldn't do any worse!

Added to that I have a 10 year old son who loves my Hallowe'en stitching and cats.  So he'll keep me on the staight and narrow this year.

Here's how my choice for January's Pumpkin design looked like when I put it down at the end of November:

I started stitching in November but it got put aside for Christmas stitching.  This SAL is a great excuse to finish it before October!!

Happy Stitching
