The wonders of back stitching!

I feel like I have been quite productive this week! With just a few lines of back stitch....ok, maybe  a bit more than a few :) ....my Christmas design is almost done!



I can see the end in sight! Just one more bit of stitching to do.... a little pocket under the mouse who looks like he's floating in space!

I've even bought some fabric so that I can finish off the design.....a lovely bright red polka-dot fabric. I have no excuses....this WILL be finished way before Christmas. Woo-hoo!

Max the cat hasn't been ignored either. This was how he looked last time...


....and this is how he looks now...


Quite a change! I did say that I had been productive :)


Until next time....happy stitching!

Those mice are so cute with their backstitch all done. Great work on your cats too.
