I've done a little more to Latte and now have most of the yellow & pink teacup done. Once I finish that plus the bit of border, I can start working my way down the stack of cups & mugs :D

As you can see, I forgot to use the lint roller before taking the photo as it's covered in long ginger hairs (thank you Frodo :lol: )

This one is coming along nicely. I love the yellow cup. It is sucha happy color.

I have been browsing the stash threads of years past and i came across when you acquired this one. Funny how fast time flies.

Frodo's additions to the piece reminded me of one of the first Lizzie Kate pieces I stitched, pretty soon after joining the forum:

Long ginger & white fur is the bane of my life at the moment.
Ozzie & Rooster are moulting handfuls at this time of year. 30 seconds after vacuuming the living room it looks as if we haven't done it for weeks.

Your progress looks good though, for all the cat fur.

Regards,

Richard

My ginger cat leaves its hair all over my projects, too! :king:
Your progress looks lovely, though. I really like how the colours appear on the black fabric.

New start alert! :whoop:

I'm doing a SAL with several other blogs and we post every three weeks. Douceur de jardin was for the SAL, and as I finished that it means that despite having other WIPs, I get to start something new :whoop:

My new project is called Garden Cat and is a chart by Satsuma Street. I bought a few from there, including several of the Pretty little cities but wanted to start with this one as I just love it to bits.

The colours are insanely bright and the picture is quite zany and fantasy-like, and it has a blue cat in the middle of the garden. I haven't got much done yet, but I have a suspicion that I won't be putting it down any time soon as I'm really enjoying it.

I've started with page one (of four) but have strayed into the other pages in the middle of the design, just to finish with the colour that I was using.

This is looking very good already and I think that you have managed quite a lot already. I like the Satsuma Street designs, they are always so vibrant!
