Ginger

We adopted a new cat a couple of weeks ago.  We were looking at kittens at Petco in the top cages and this sweet girl in the bottom popped her head up.  We pet her through the cage and was loving the attention and purring very loud.  We went home and I couldn't stop thinking about her.  The next day we went back and got her.

My pretty girl! We've had her a week now and she's doing great! #ginger

She is getting along with Oreo pretty well.  There was a little bit of hissing in the beginning, but now they greet each other and touch noses.

I have been stitching and knitting a little bit.  This is what I'm working on... 

I finished an autumn design for Plum Street Samplers.  I can't show you the design, but I can show you the pretty thread colors.

I started a sock using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Multi (Cool Colorway). The pattern is Vanilla Latte Socks.  I'm using size 1.5 dpns.

Next, is my Shepherd's Bush Fold project.  I finally got all the grass filled in and started working on the top portion.

I finished the cat on Charlotte Clayton and I also got Isabella Fox back out and worked on it a little bit, but what I really want to get back to is Plum Street Antique's "Crown Sampler."  I just love this one!

  3. Just love the colors for the new Plum Street, can't wait to see the actual piece. The stitched sheep are so cute. Love the specialty stitches (can't see which one exactly in the picture) they give it real character.

  11. What a bonnie little cat, such a lovely mix of colours and markings. Getting pets to accept newcomers isn't always easy, I've had mixed results over the years. Lovely stitching - a really appealing mix of designs you're working on.
