When I complained about my cross stitch mistakes in working my 1st Christmas Black Cat, Julie from
A Succulent Life suggested trying the pattern using the continental, tent or half cross stitch. I had to double the thickness of my floss but it went faster and I didn't need to worry about getting all the top threads in the same direction and for once I worked a pattern perfectly! Another Christmas giftie finished :)
My energetic, disciplined and very healthy Mom ready to go snowshoeing. She tries to go every day and I'm so proud of her and how she works hard at keeping in good shape. Way to go Mom!!
I just noticed while looking at this picture that she's wearing mismatched gloves! I think I'd better get her a decent pair for Christmas.
