Bastet, the Egyptian Goddess of Cats has been languishing in the waiting for me to stitch on you pile. I could hear her tiny faint meows saying “pick me tonight, please stitch on me tonight!”

Yes I know that I should be finishing the bicycle or the other canvases that I am working on for stitch guides, but I sorta kinda needed a little fuel for the soul and some beading.

I wasn’t happy with the beads that I selected the last time that I worked on Bastet’s amulet, so out they came. I am starting to redesign her amulet after searching through my beads for just the purr~fect color. I found them and settled in for an evening of beading.

It just needs the turquoise beads and the center ruby…okay work with me here. I also experimented with some other beading techniques for the collar. I was also practice stitching the background to make sure I get it before I waste too much of this beautiful therad that Ruth sent us… and I am thrilled to say that I got it!

If you just love her as much as I do, you too can get the stitch guide from the completed mystery class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. Ruth has finished hers and is with her framers. I will be anxious to see what she selected as I finish mine up.

This is one of my very first orchids that was given to me as a gift a few years ago. It had not re-bloomed for ages…and well now all that TLC has paid off as look at me now!

Neither one of my kids is very good at hide ‘n seek…

I see you! and until next time…keep on stitching
