WIP: My cat Kizzi **Updated 22 Nov 09**

Post by kelixander »

As I have abit of time on my hands waiting for my new fabric for my HAED I thought i'd get out a UFO that I started back in March 2008 of my cat Kizzi. I finished my other cat Xander a couple of years ago and think they'll look great up on the wall together.

Here is what she should look like when finished
Image

Here is a pic of my finished design of Xander too

And this is how far I have gotten with Kizzi
Image

I hope to continue with this at the same time as my HAED

Thanks...My hubby bought me "Cross Stitch Professional Platinum Plus" for Christmas a couple of years back and i've used it a couple of times to transfer a few of my favourite pictures to cross stitch.

Xander and Kizzi my cats are my favourite of course :D

Well my fabric is finally here for my HAED so i'm putting Kizzi back on hold for the time being. I only did about 400 stitches but loved getting this one out again so will definitely keep going back to this.

I hope to give you's an update soon.

Well i've been working on my Kizzi again these last couple of weeks, here's a sneak at how far i've got
Image

I'm gonna finish to the bottom of the page (about another 1200 stitches) then i'll put her down for a bit and get my HAED out again which has been neglected of late as I have become addicted to this one :D

Plus it's a lower count so easier on the eyes :)

**I know you can still see the pen guide under the stitches as most threads are some form of white, but i'm sure once it has been washed it will look lovely :dance:
