Welcome to ChitChat!

I've had my cat to the vet on 2 separate occasions recently for "stomach issues" and a horrid smell coming from her mouth. The vet missed it the first time, but caught it yesterday. Evidently, when I was putting away some leftover floss, I dropped some and didn't notice it. Well, Renata found it and had one strand wrapped around her tongue and a pretty good sized wad stuck in the back of her mouth where the whole area had become infected. Luckily, it was an easy removal and the cat is fine. I just have to be careful in the future.

Finally, now to frame it. I have started my next project, and ordered one for after that....

Is this pattern in color?

Royal Baby looks adorable! Can't wait to find out his name. Love that he shares a birthday with my daughter!

Has anybody noticed or am I crazy, that if you click on either What's New for kits or patterns there is nothing new. For the patterns I get a bunch of Mirabilia patterns which I am sure are in my wish list and the same for the kits. I may be crazy anyways, but I don't think I am seeing things.

I have just a little black to finish, and my current project will be done! Sooooo I thought I would put away all of the floss and needles, and start prepping for my next project. The dog woke up, went outside, and when I went to let her in she brought me a gift...

I always have a stitching WIP framed up and sitting on top of a backrest in my bedroom - but I find that I have to limit myself to 2 hours of cross-stitching on work-day evenings, otherwise I would be on my backside every day after work and all day on weekends, stitching. As much as I love the craft, I have lots of other chores that need attention ... but my heart is in my stitching basket ... so I have to ration my stitching time. Maybe I'm just OCD ... :)

Great shop! Quick question about this piece. Is it possible to do it on larger count aida cloth? Thank you!

Will the gold color come off if the project is soaked in oxy clean or even bleach?

My cat is the same way it looks like a toy to her so she thinks she has to play with it. I have to put mine in a closed basket or a zippered tote otherwise I will come home to a yarn wrapped around every available object in the house...lol My older cat used to be that way but doesn't care anymore.
