It’s Looking a Lot Like Christmas!

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

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. 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?
