Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I have officially lost my mind.

In addition to the wedding photo WIP, I've decided to start another project -- doing 4x6 cross stitches for each of our four cats.

We have a photo frame on the wall now, with these four photos in it; one by one, I'll be replacing a photo with a completed cross stitch.









Each one is approximately 5000 stitches, which isn't terrible, except that they're pretty much all confetti again. The downside of working from photos!

I swear, my next project will be nothing but big blocks of bright reds and blues, because I'm already sick of confetti browns.

I'll be starting with the top photo above, since he's our sick little guy and I think it would mean a lot to my husband.

They're great photographs and will make a very special set of cross stitch projects!

Oh what gorgeous cats. Love them all

aww that is so sweet!!

Nice photos,look forward to seeing you start.

I think this will be a real labour of love for you - looking forward to seeing your updates.

Aww.

Love the photos, sooo cute!!
I'm really looking forward to watching your progress!!

Oh, I love these kitties!!! Can't wait to see these progress!!!

What a great project and such lovely clear photos to work from.

Just love the 3rd kitty - she is so like my dear Muffy who went to sleep when she was 16, her son Silver (a huge silver grey)when he was almost 19.

Enjoy the stitching in spite of the "confetti stitching" which I know gets sooooooo frustrating at times.

Such fantastic pictures and they are going to be wonderful to watch you stitch each of them. What characters!!!!!!

Oh my! What a project!

Here's my first "update" -- all of the bobbins nice and organized.

Would you believe all of these colors are JUST for that first photo above? What was I thinking?



That's all for this project for tonight; going to do some stitching on the wedding photo WIP now.

What beautiful cats, despite all the confetti they're going to be lovely to stitch. Can't wait to see you make a start on the first one.

Can't wait to see these done.

Did you chart the photos yourself?

Those kitties are so cute how could you not want to stitch them?! I will definitely enjoy watching these!..

I use Stitchtastic software. They make pretty good patterns -- I'm happy with the work I've done so far from them.

Awww ...this will be soooo LOVELY to watch out for!

Oh this is going to be great, I'm going to really enjoy watching these come to life.
Confetti is annoying, but it makes all the difference doesn't it.
