"Love" pillow

This is one of the steps from the SAL JINGLE LIZZIE KATE I made last year (I still have to finish the stitching of many of them...).

One day I was working on another sewing finishing and decided to complete this one too.

a little cat

A friend gave me this cute cat-frame and I filled it in a simple way.

Because it is true: I love cat(s) ;-)

a Christmas gift

in 2014 the finished works were few... health problems caused me to have long periods while I didn't feel like stitching or I had slightly sight problems and this caused me difficulties in doing it...

but at Christmas at least one thing was done! this little pattern, from Mani di Donna with buttons from Stitched Tales (I like her buttons so much!).

I made a little pillow of it to hang at Christmas and it became a present for one of my dearest friends.

I was very scared to make mistakes while I was sewing it as I have a very bad feeling with the sewing machine... it took me 2 long hours of concentration and I feared till the end to make something wrong... but I didn't!

and it came out really nice! I am so proud of it!!! I would like to stop to feel scared each time I sew with the sewing machine!!! LOL

SAL Jingle Lizzie Kate - june and july steps done with delay

I am very late in update this blog...

the truth is I didn't stitch too much and I am late in everything!!!

Let me see if I am at least able to update the blog with what I have done since August...

in August I also did this one

and in September this one

since then... this SAL has been completely forgotten by my needle... 

hope to pick it up again and finish it. I love these subjects and (at this point) I'd like to see them as decoration for next Christmas!!!

SAL Jingle Lizzie Kate - some updates

it seems August is the right month to make up for lost steps in this SAL. In the last weeks I have stitched these three ones above here.

I enjoy stitching them and they finish quite quickly: the right kind of cross stitch work I need in these days.

Hope to make up for the others: still need 3 too be "right" with the supposed program :-)

MMS July and August

Yesssssssssssss!!! I have even done more than what was required!!! LOL

The truth is that this work is perfect to be stitched when I am in chemio therapy at the hospital: it is simple, not too many colours... I can easily stitch it in the more than 6 hours I have to do in day hospital once every three weeks and in July I had 2 therapies... so I had a lot of time to dedicate to this SAL.

so, here it is, July and August stitched:

The theme of these two months was the sea... it isn't my favourite to tell the truth: I live at 9 kms from it but I never go there.
Even if this year I go more often, at least once every week, to have a walk and make some movement.
Yesterday I was there and enjoied this great sunset:

wasn't it worthy a photo??

MMS May and June

In the last days I finished May and yesterday I stitched June, a very fast month!

I made something different in June, I stitched Stella, my kitty, a few differences from the original cat. 

Look at her, isn't she exactly the same???
