The People Chose ☕

So I've been slacking in Jo @ Serendipitous Stitching SAL, whoops!
I didn't really have anything for January (Lizzy Kate), February I only had one penguin (see below), but at least for March I've got some coffee! 😃


I stitched this one for my DH as a Valentine present.

I think this was another pressie for him?

Here they are together in the coffee nook along with the coffee mug I had made with the "Just draggin' without my coffee" on it.

I stitched this up again for an exchange. I think I like the blue mug better!

I haven't fully finished this one yet, but thought it needed a "frame". This was a freebie and I added Ming and Maximus to it instead of the single cat.

You can find this pattern at Cross Stitch Happy

I forgot about this one, I made it for one of Nathan's teachers at school who loves the Gilmore Girls - me too!

Another freebie online, but her blog is no longer up.

And my coffee choice? Pretty much anything berry, especially cranberry!

Here's my lone penguin, at least he's a cutie!

And here's another cute penguin, although he's a bit taller now. Not quite a foot taller, but getting close!

I'm not sure about next month, it's samplers and I know I don't have any of those. I haven't really seen any I had to stitch.

The People Chose ❄⛄❄

I'm super late for Jo @ Serendipitous Stitching's, The People Chose this month, but I'm squeezing it in before the new year... at least in MY time zone!
I'm going to try and think of snow for this month, and not so much on Christmas (except for the ornament ones?!)

An oldie, my first "big" one.

I can't remember where I got this pattern, maybe an old ornament book.

Oldie, from a kit.

More ornaments with snow.

A polar bear is definitely winter!

Frosty Snowman Mug from Mill Hill.

Mill Hill with kitty Finn!

Who doesn't love a sleigh ride in the snow?

Sweet Snowy Penguin

I made this one for our girls night together, although it's been a while since we've all been able to get together.

A starry snowman

Snowmen mittens

And finally, our winter village.

See you next month when it's Lizzie Kate time.

Happy New Year to you all, I can't even believe it's going to be 2020!

Ah, my favourite time of year, Autumn! Take a look at Jo @Serendipitous Stitching to see more Autumnal Colours.


 Cottage Garden Sampling, My Garden Journal, September.

Cottage Garden Sampling, My Garden Journal, November.

The Snowflower Diaries, Joyful World.

Nora Corbett's Trick or Treat fairy.

I haven't quite decided if I'm finished with this, or if I want to add the top of the fence.

This is not my stitching, but I do have this pattern from the Fall Getaway I went to in October, I just need to stitch it.

Mill Hill, now I wonder if I should have added some colourful leaves.

I stitched this one for an exchange.

Another exchange.

My first project bag, also for an exchange, except it's tiny!

One of my favourite pictures, taken on the way to my parents house, outside of Cumberland.

Some colours at Deep Creek Lake.

Saving the best for last - Waxing Moon Designs, Autumn Things. I haven't fully finished it yet, but I'm thinking about using this type of fabric.

I'm not sure if next month has been decided, but probably a winter themed one?

A purrfect month for this Cat Momma! And especially today, it's National Cat Day!
Take a look at Jo @ Serendipitous Stitching to see more kitty stitching. 


Here's an oldie, but a goodie! Oh my, 30 years ago.

Another oldie, this is in memory of our first Siamese cat, Chachi.

This was supposed to be a trio of baking cats from Margaret Sherry, but I only finished this one for now.

A special birthday present for a friend. 

The pattern is from Lynn @ Happiness is Cross Stitching.

Ming helping me with kitty colours.

This is from The Snowflower Diaries.

A Mill Hill cutie, sneaking a cat in the sleigh!

This was a gift from a friend, but I haven't started it yet.

Nathan chose this one to try for his first piece. But the "floss" was more like yarn and it wasn't easy to work with. This might have been as far as he got!

Another Margaret Sherry kitty, this was for a recent exchange.

I didn't stitch this one, but it does have our two kitties in it! Karen made it for me when me moved into our house again.

More Mill Hill treasures, I think I have a couple I still need to stitch.

That's it for now, but I'm thinking about making this photo into a pattern.

So head on over to Jo's blog to if you haven't already.
Is there such a thing as too many cats?!
