So cute !

Adorable. I love Beatrix Potter.

What a shame the backstitching caused so many problems but the end result is certainly worth the stresses. It is beautiful.

Very cute--too bad that the backstitching was such a problem for you but it came out wonderfully!! Nicely done!!

To bad that the chart was horrible as the finish is just so cute.

Beautiful!!

Another small finish - this is the card I designed for my other half's birthday. It's of our two cats, Molly (on the right) and Imp (on the left), and our African Grey parrot, Ronnie:



The photo hasn't come out brilliantly, so you can't really see their expressions well, but they are both eying the little mouse between them.

Molly kindly obliged me by posing next to herself (no chance of Impy sitting still, I have so many blurred photos of her!) - please excuse the mess!:

cute card. and its good to know someone else with a cat who is a ham in front of the camera.

Very cute card!!

omg ur kitty looks just like my late female kitty Gizmo. she was 17 years old and I loved her cause of her sassy queen attitude! before I met my husband I kept cats, he's allergic so I can't any longer.I miss kitties..

anyway..cute card..beautiful cat!

Great card

The card is great!!!!!!!

Molly is gorgeous and how lovely of her to pose beside her lovely replica on the card.
A great idea and I am sure that "your other half" really loved it.

Sally

PS Is the mouse a pet or one you saw around.

Very cute!!! And gorgeous cat.. I love torties

Thanks everyone

Just so the others don't feel left out with the attention Molly's getting,

Here is Imp:


you can't tell from the photo, but she has a white chest where Molly is cream, and she's about two thirds the size of Molly, other than that they are very similar; both torties, both with plenty of 'cattitude'

And here is Ronnie:

He was really pleased It's not a pet mouse, just a random one. I used to have ratties but they've all passed away, and what with the cats and a baby on the way it's best I resist the temptation to get more rodents, though I adore ratties!

Nice card and pics...And definitely not a rodent fan.

Lovely stitching Love the pictures of Molly,Imp and Ronnie.

Lovely card and cat

Lovely stitching. I just watched the movie Miss Potter as someone here mentioned it. Loved it and went looking for stitching patterns. You did a fine job.
