HAED Tabbies - update 8/27/12

It's looking great, Carole! I like the idea of a rotation in theory, but I don't think I could stop myself after only ten hours! What willpower you must have! I look forward to seeing more of Laverne's antics!

Lovely work and definitely looks like fur to me Great to see Laverne "helping" again too

[marniecat]

Looking great, (just like real fur as others have said). Great job!

[mechie]

Definitely looks like cat fur! Great job so far. I can't wait to see those pretty kitty faces!

Great progress Carole , that's 'fur' sure *groan*.
I love the idea of a 10 hour rotation too and really admire your discipline at stopping at 10 hours, even though you want to do more. I may give it a go after I've finished Lily (which I'm working on exclusively until it's finished so I can send it back and get on with some of my own stuff).
Looking forward to seeing your Afghan soon too

I appreciate y'all think that I am so good at sticking with the ten hours and I do admit that I'm trying to do it, but as I mentioned on another thread I have done as much as twenty hours on one so it is going to vary I'm sure. One of my motivations is this crazy,idea I have about having to go through at least two rotations before,I will let myself think about starting a new one. I'm thinking this will at least slow me down a little bit.

You have a lot of willpower to wait to start a new design - impressive!

Love the update - looks great!

(waving hello to Laverne! )

Probably too many Laverne photos today. Please let me know if I'm overdoing it.
I thought I would show you that she not only supervises cross stitching but has other responsiblities. She likes to help open the mail but especially likes to help write checks. She loved it when my husband did the bill paying because he didn't like computers so she always was there to help, even trying to get the pen. I pay most bills online, but had to renew the magazine subscription for my son and wrote a check. Miss L was sound asleep on my bed until the checkbook came out

Now to stitching. She still clearly loves Tabbies.

after some arguing I was able to get my piece back

and made a fair amount of progress. The last two columns that I worked in were filled with confetti. Lots of single stitches and seemed to take at least 1/2 of the 16 hours I put in to this one.

now to a non HAED. Need to get work done on "Cat Hair"

[Carole]

I love to see photos of Laverne. I really miss my cats so I'm enjoying looking at yours

Tabbies is coming on beautifully. Well done on working through all that confetti. It really does have a great effect.

All you have to do now is open Laverne an account and teach her to write the cheques and the she can buy your stash for you!!
