Closing in

I'm closing in on the end of the embroidery on my latest hussif.  Over the weekend I managed to fit in some stitching time...


I added the little kitty sitting at her sewing machine (my daughter-in-love likes cats, so I had to fit one in somehow); plus the cup of tea and the pincushion.  The second photo shows the needle threader and three little spools of thread (used as a seam treatment).  

Today the quote is from Milton Berle...."It's rough to go through life with your contents looking as if they settled during shipping!"

  1. I'm all for the cat motif! And I like that you're closing in on the work, like a shy woodland creature that might bolt if you make a sudden move! Ideas do work that way sometimes.

  3. Oh, such a sweet kitty, unlike my naughty real life kitty who has just decided it's playtime (just as we are going to go to bed!). You are finding such sweet pictures, your hussif is going to be amazing! Love it!!!
