Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I have 3 Spangler Christmasy Cat Charts (1 I got and 2RAKs)and couldn't decide which to do. Kept changing my mind. Then I won the Bingo game and decided I would let the cats play "bingo" and decide which one we would do. So I put the names of each chart on the back of a package of needles which was empty (have no idea why I save these) turned them over and put them on the table, knowing that within minutes one of my furbabies would knock one off. Of course, it took forever. I don't know who knocked one on the floor (actually I am surprised all three weren't on the floor) because I left the room for a while) and O Kitten Tree was on the floor so it became my newest start as I have been through my rotation twice and so am allowed a new one. Long story. This is what it will look like (hopefully)

This is me and my aide getting ready to grid.

This is when I got home after my stitching group last night. I took everything out of my tote bag, started to make a cup of tea and stitch a bit more

and after a total of about 16 hours this is my first update. Got a lot done since the border was pretty straight forward. Lots of confetti in the first gem though.

Now to Bookend Kitties for the HAED SAL

LOL what a fun design and I love the way that you made your choice! It looks like you've made quite a lot of progress in only 16 hours!!

Very pretty! and a nice start

Great start Carole! And I absolutely love how you chose which one to start...

Wow, you've gotten a lot done already! It looks great!!! And love this design - will be anxiously awaiting updates.

I know what you mean about the confetti with the gem - it's the same with the mini Spangler I'm working on. It's amazing how it ends up looking though.

Neat idea on how to pick the next start!!! Cats know all

Great start ... got alot done in 16hrs!

Very bright and colorful. Will enjoy seeing this one

I the look of the gem, so pretty! All that in 16 hours??? I feel so sssslllloooowwww.


eta: I see how ya' did it, the CAT helped!

Dear Laverne, that looks says "about time you got home and I had something soft to lie on"

Love your new start and good on them for choosing that interesting one for you to do next.

Great start

Wow, you've made a great start! Congratulations I just the idea of your pussycats helping. Keep us updated. I love looking at all the work you've done. Regards, Pippa.

Had to be Laverne's choice as she is your chief aide with all things cross stitch!

Great design too will enjoy watching this one appear!

You have made great progress in 16 hrs. I love the Spangler designs and I loved this when I first saw it. I'd love to add it to my stitch list someday.

I love the story of how you made the choice.

What a fabulous start and this is going to be so fun to watch.

I like your method of deciding which chart to start next Great progress too, that gem looks fantastic!

Looking good! I started mine a few months back but have only worked on it for about three hours total, I don't have nearly as much as you do to show! Love seeing yours.

It looks so cute! I love how you picked the chart and you've done so muh already!

Love Spanglers and this is looking fantastic already. Can't believe how much you've done!!

Beautiful start!

Lovely design and you made a great start with the border. Looking forward to more updates.

The kitties have made their decision!!! And a great one it was! Wonderful start!

Thank you all for your replies. This one is fun to do for sure and I am missing it already. One thing I have discovered about rotating projects is that I have yet to get tired of one and am always eager to get to the next one. At least my new starts will slow down a bit with my 2 rotation "rule".

I knew someone had this in their WIP list, but couldn't remember who and there hadn't been a thread. I hope you will get back to it soon as I would love to see someone else's stitching.
