An "accidental" Happy Dance and checking the Temperature....

I started my Friday Frolics this week wrestling Furio for control of my stitching - lol!  He really is my stitching cat!

I am pleased to say that I won the tussle (yay! I could beat a cat a 100 times smaller than me - lol!) and managed a finish before my Friday morning coffee group.

Sorry, I did iron it but it still looks a little crumpled!  I made a few changes to the original  - see below - I hope that you like them.

Then it was onto my Temperature SAL.....

Before: 

Progress.....

Pretty happy, quite a bit achieved on this SAL piece.

Of course, all of this qualifies for FNSI hosted by the wonderful Wendy.  

This is a virtual Sew-In held on the third Friday of every month.  If you want to see what all the other FNSIers got up to this month you can find out here.

What did you stitch on for Friday Frolics this week?

P.S. I am having ANOTHER Girl's Nest Giveaway (#6) on my main blog, Kitten Stitching, click on the pic below if you would like to enter.  Closes May 31st.

Happy Dance x 2!

Yay! I had great success with my two kitty cats yesterday for Friday Frolics plus I also made great progress on my Witch's Kitchen, too!

Witch's Kitchen a freebie by The Primitive Hare

A most successful Friday Frolics, how about you?

hugs, 

I think....

... that it will be another trilogy of stitching again this Friday and maybe, a Happy Dance or two, if I am lucky!

So, I went to my WIP pile and pulled out this box...

.... opened the lid and found this inside ....

JBW Designs Alphabet Cat, personalised to look like Furio ....

... with only the "F", "U", "R" and "O" to go!  This should be a speedy run to that Happy Dance!

Inside I also found the fabric and thread to stitch an Alphabet Milo! So, I figure just like Proverbi 3 last week, that counts as a WIP as well!

 

I am also planning to put some more love into this sweet freebie from The Primitive Hare... "Witch's Kitchen".

So, lots of Frolicking for me today, fingers crossed!

hugs, 

A two part Friday Frolics post.....

Okay, now as I forgot to post for FF last Friday night (13th May) due to the intensive freelance work I was doing - you can read about it on my Kitten Stitching blog - I have decided that this week's FF post will be a two parter. So, here goes.....

Part One: Friday 13th May:

So, first of all I had a Happy Dance at my new stitching group with Melody, Helen, Christine and Julia (no blog).  I will post all of the fun of the day on my main blog, Kitten Stitching, when I get the chance.

I finished my second Nordic ornament from PS Book #191 for the Christmas Ornie SAL May theme of "Reindeer".

Isn't he a proud, handsome fellow?

He is a companion piece to the April theme of "Ornament".

So, at a loose end (I know, I know, how could that be with all of my UFOs?????), I downloaded this pretty pattern from Lynne B of Happiness is Cross Stitch.  If you don't know Lynne's blog, it is well worth checking it out - she is very generous with her freebies and if you are a cat lover, she has lots of cat designs.  "All you need is love" is her latest design, not a freebie but at $5 was a bargain, I thought, especially as it was instant download and I have now stitched two of them (you will have to check out Kitten Stitching in a few days to see them both stitched up.)

This, of course, is Milo.

... and lastly, I got up to make a cup of tea when I was reading this very gripping thriller but obviously Furio didn't find it all that gripping!

So, that was Part One, now for Part Two.



Part Two: Friday 20th May:

This past Friday, for FF and for FNSI (hosted by the wonderful Wendy), I picked up this lovely design.

Bet you can't guess why I love this piece????? Silly me, of course you can because there are my two kitty cats, Milo and Furio in the window! How could I resist?

This is a design which I bought on eBay, it is a Bayview Publication but no indication of the designer.

Anyway, that is two weeks of Friday Frolics for me and now it is Wednesday morning so I am thinking about my next FF selection.

Have a great day everyone, I am off to Aqua aerobics, then my dear friend Marie is going to teach me to make Polish pirogi this morning and then this afternoon, my next lot of freelance work should have appeared in my inbox so it will be back to the grindstone for me - lol! - and tonight is book club - so a very full, busy but enjoyable day ahead.

hugs, Kaye
