When these candy canes came out from Melissa Shirley maybe about 10 years ago, who would thunk that I would have this many in my collection? I absolutely love stitching them! They are actually more than this that have overflowed onto my other trees. I look forward to seeing what new ones that Melissa debuts this year. Might just have to order some at market…not like I have much time to stitch for myself these days!
I like stitching these so much because they work up quickly! It is a great sense of accomplishment to finish something and is a nice change of pace from the bigger and more involved pieces that we seem to be always work on.
Mooch has been a little mischievous lately and I am thinking that Santa Paws might leave some coal in his stocking.
Mooch reminds me some much of AlleyCat as he has so much cat-itude!
Of course I have a kitty Christmas Tree! what were you thinking? I try to add a new kitty ornament to it every year…either stitched or not. This sterling ornament is one of my favorites! Based on an antique merry go-round piece of a cat holding a fish in its mouth.
I have been on stitching hiatus this last week and I really needed it. I think I am ready tonight to get back into my stitchy chair as I am sure the cats are too!
and until next time…keep on stitching
I have a music box of the exact same cat with the fish in it’s mouth! It stays put year-round. Thanks for sharing some of your decorations. Hope you get to some stitching for yourself. Were you good and finished the stitch guides?
Whoops…spell-check on my iPad is horrible…its, not it’s…
What spelling?
actually no I didn’t finish! but have cleaned up lots of odds and ends of all kinds of stuff!
