Hi, Kat! Happy Easter!

This is a pattern, which means you must purchase floss, fabric, needles separately. On the product page, under the "supplies" tab, you will find the flosses listed and a suggestion for the fabric....looks like quite a project. If you click all the tabs correctly, everything will be placed in your cart and you're on your way!

I hope this helped smooth your furrowed brow. :)

Personally, I love these patterns....this will be quite a wonderful work of art!

The people on this chat are a positive, fun bunch who will welcome all your questions and cheer your accomplishments.

Welcome!

Others doing this pattern have posted. It's a very advanced and complicated pattern. Every square stitched, large when completed

Think it should come with a warning, J? :) Well, there is a LOT of pattern there.... :)

It's beyond Maggie the Messmaker in complexity, but at least it's not monochrome, or all background. I have no patience for those anymore.

Hi kat
I'm working on Kitchen witch I now and it is similar to what you are looking at.
It is not very hard to do but it is very time consuming and takes a lot of floss.
I figured it will take me well over a year to finish . but it is a lot of fun.
good luck

But it's such a story! Stubby little witch standing on a stool to see into the cauldron, the cat standing against her leg....lots of action in the history of this kitchen...lots more coming! Cackle! Cackle! Cackle!
This one would be such a lot of fun coming alive....framed and displayed low for the kids to study while they're just falling asleep for a nap....such a lot to focus on. :)

Nothing like an old fool, is there? LOL

This is just a pattern by Mystic Stitch. You have to buy all your supplies separately. I have done several Mystic Stitch patterns and they are really only for the experienced stitcher or an advanced beginner with a lot of patience.

Sorry Jlhewes, to disagree with you but Maggie The MessMaker is one of the easiest patterns that I have ever done. I did it several years ago for myself and it hangs on the wall in my hall. That is what I like about cross stitching. Everyone's experience is different.

This is the neatest picture. Kind of looks like my kitchen when I am making Thanksgiving dinner for 12 people!!! I looked at the enlargement.....do I see FOUR cats?? Also, I just looked at Maggie the Messmaker. This is also cute. Brings back memories to me. We had a Long Haired North American Cat (Maine Coon) which I rescued when he was only five weeks old. This was fourteen years ago. Since we didn't know where he came from...we named him Marco Polo. He was not in good condition as he had been abandoned outside the building where I worked. Took him to the Vet, got him a prescription antibiotic (with a plunger), prescription formula and prescription shampoo....$11.00 a bottle. My husband said the cat had better shampoo than we did! Anyway, he grew to be 28 lbs. which a normal size for them. He was charcoal and white. I was doing a lot of knitting then. When we would leave the house after he was about a year old, we would come home and he would have found a skein of yarn, carried the end of it all around our dining room table, chairs, down the hall into the den, around the chairs, etc. etc. My husband did not grow up with cats and was so surprised. He was a lot of fun....we lost him to cancer several years ago. The scene in this picture reminds me so much of him!!

You have me tearing up, Jersey. The best pets find us, don't they?

I saw at least 4 cats in there and I imagine she has at least one fading cat smile somewhere in the mix and shadows!

Kat, what happened to you? Did we scare you off?
