I’ve not done a lot of stitching this past month but I’ve managed to make some progress on Mythical Creatures. This is where I left off earlier this evening.

That's quite true in my little corner of the world.

recover (explanation: Some retail stores employees have to "zone" their departments which means they put stuff back where it goes. I worked at a store that called it "recover" which is the same thing: putting back stuff that shoppers left everywhere except where they picked it up.)

plaster

(because although the word was lathe, the first thing my brain saw was lath...ergo plaster)

I can picture what you describe. When I see Jackson (my cat) or one of my grand dogs try to get traction on a tile or wood floor, it reminds me of watching cartoon characters trying to escape.

Gadgets

Using only two strands might add texture to the cat? Just guessing. I know it's going to look fabulous.

And with your smalls, you inspired me to get out my Leisure Arts books with Christmas smalls. Now that they're out, maybe I should stitch something from them.

I picked this up at the framer (Hobby Lobby) today. I had the idea to have the Metro map framed with it and I am over the moon with the result.

Bayun Cat has been framed (finally).

I was thinking the same!

Very cool!

fingers

(Friends have told me of the finger slicing danger of mandolins. I've never used one.)

I think the dog should be looking over his shoulders for awhile.

ouzo (The drink of the Greek gods? Or at least the drink of my college roommate. lol)

Runner

(Richard, I can’t figure out why pro football needs cheerleaders - scantily clad young women for a primarily male audience. Oh wait, never mind.)

I do, too. I think it fits the vibe of the older (60 years ago) stop motion animation, giving it a cartoon-y feel.

I agree.
