New Start! Oops!

Hello!

I hope you have all had a pleasant weekend? Mine has been pretty relaxing, made even better with the knowledge I have tomorrow off work too :D

Today I decided on a new start, this one has been niggling away at me recently so I figured as it is one of my Turtle Trot pieces then it is ok to start it!

This is Row of Cats by Bothy Threads, and was a birthday gift for my 26th Birthday (over a year ago!)

This is what it should eventually look like...

And this is the start I made today :) I'm hoping this is one of the ones I can actually complete this year, even if I only complete one cat a month then it should be done!

I started in the middle so Chester is the first cat I am stitching up, just a little more on his body then I will make a start on his head. I can't decide if to back stitch each cat as I go or save it all for the end...we shall see!

Now its almost time for me to put my feet up and watch the Superbowl! I'm hoping I don't sleep too late tomorrow and have chance to go out for a run during the day.

Until next time!

YOTA - February 2014

Good Afternoon my lovelies!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend, are any of you going to be watching the super bowl? Even though we live in England it is still shown on TV here and we are going to stay up late tomorrow and watch it! We have taken Monday off work too, as it's always a late one!

So here we are, February 1st which just so happens to be the first Saturday of the month meaning its YOTA time! If you have never heard of YOTA before then just follow the link and all will be explained, perhaps you might even want to join in with us too - there are over 20 of us at the moment!

So this is what my YOTA piece looked like the last time you saw it at the beginning of the year...

And here is where it is now!

As you can see I have taken the time to fill in all the gaps of the two columns to the right and filled in a little at the top too, and I can tell you now it was a pleasure to stitch something other than 310 after Mini the Black. Still not much to see but this section is mainly background, once this part is complete I will move along to the right as then we will start to find a face :D

How did you all do on your YOTA this month?

Until next time!
