Another New Start

At the retreat on the weekend, Kris (of Kraftnkris on YouTube) showed us her Autumn Cat from the October 2019 issue of Just Cross Stitch Magazine. Joanne is holding it in this photo.

She also suggested one could use the basic chart and use different motifs for different seasons or holidays.

I had 28ct black linen in my stash and a couple of the called-for threads. Too lazy to go out and buy the threads I was missing, I substituted DMC 420 for 167, 3362 for 3051, and 356 for 3830. 

I got this much done yesterday.

And a bit more one today - so far.

Marlene has a poll on the Facebook group for us to vote for dates for next year’s retreats. Two choices are on weekends and two are weekdays. So far, all of the dates she selected work for me. I’m really looking forward to next time.

I have a sewing project I need to do but have been procrastinating. Step one will be to select the fabric. It’s not a hard project, I just need to get started.

I’m actually looking forward to cooking supper tonight (<—- a rare thing). I bought the zucchini for the fritters the other day and need to use them so am making one of my favourite dishes - Ricotta and Zucchini Fritters - a recipe I gleaned from one of my HelloFresh kits back in the spring.
