Soooooo much confetti. I know there are charts with more confetti, but I think this one has more than any of the others I have done so far. Worked on this one about 16 hrs but probably didn't really get 16 hrs of stitching in. Just discovered the tv show "Leverage" and am in the process of "catching up" through dvds. Sometimes I just stop and watch and don't realize I've stopped stitching. I think with other projects with less confetti it wasn't hard to keep stitching, but this one requires attention. I love how it is looking though and only have about 1/6 of page 1 left. I plan on completing the page next time.
Laverne helped some, but not as much. She doesn't like confetti because I move too much (changing threads). She helps with checking the chart for me.

but then decided confetti is too hard and left for a needed rest.

Shirley had taken up the space next to me.

Finally, this is how it is looking now.

Wow, it's amazing how all of that confetti really makes it look like cat fur! I can see what you mean by having to really concentrate to stitch it. Great progress!!

Love how Laverne is helping you check out the chart, then gives up to sleep. :kitty:

I like all the characters. I love Parker. For being the most amazing thief, she is so innocent. I just watched the "Ho Ho Ho Job" which may be my favorite so far.

You're getting through this Carole :applesauce: . The confetti may be a royal pain in the you-know-what, but it doesn't half bring out the detail.

Looking forward to your O Kitten Tree :dance:
