Crazy

I know I am crazy at times.  I had an overwhelming urge to start my third Mill Hill Laurel Burch cat.
And I did.   I already have too many WIPs going.  Time crunches on a couple of things and really should not have done it.  Yet, I did it.

This is the packaging

Progress as of 4-24-2018

I chose the linen option.

See all the fuzzy stuff

That's the green that I ripped out from the 3 Cats canvas

(see a couple of previous posts)

I have found a new green that seems to be working

Updates coming

Yes, Barbara stitched the rug!

Stitch something in memory

I should have shown this yesterday but never got a chance.

If it's Monday, It must be snowing

Yes, it snowed again on Monday

the fourth one in a row.

Today there is still a frost on the ground with frost warnings for tonight.

Are we skipping spring this year?

Update

This is 3 cats

(my name)

This is the current section I am working on.

Not sure that I like it

Color is so-so, stitch is sorta ok

doesn't quite match

thread is a pain in the neck  (it's rayon)

no matter what, it doesn't lay flat

I've "waxed" the thread, made it wet, etc

still frays and still rolls

Notice the yellow next to it.  I found a combo of two threads that matched exactly.

The leaves were supposed to be white but I changed it to green.

I have red beads going in where the red spots are now.

This is the long view of the section.

The blue "hives" are in tent and will have white thread on top of them

debating between 2 stitches vs a bead (large)

The color of the "hives" will be the same as the blue

on the very bottom - see first photo.

It is different in color and type of thread than the blue triangles on the this side.

QUESTION

What do you think of the color?

of the stitch  (Mosaic)?

of the thread itself?

Any Suggestions?

Next

Progress is being made

When it goes to get framed, I've decided to put something dark 

behind it so the white stands out better.

HOMe is stitched in actually.

This is/was an EGA project.  It is currently unstitched.

This was created using crayons, an iron and stencils.

The background will remain unstitched

the heart will be stitched.

Another EGA project.

Fabric covered box.

I opted for two colors.

That's it for my updates.

The 3 cats have taken most of my time lately.

The yellow area got ripped out twice (not all of it)

I only did small patches to test colors, etc

One of the things eliminated was the rayon thread.

Lots of WIPs never got touched this period nor will they

over the next three weeks which is a really busy time of the year for me.

Check out the rest of the group
