Woohoo! Finally a finish and a long term UFO at that! I had to wait until I could get the beads, but I managed to earlier today. I may put a purple collar on the kitty at a later time, but for right now, this one is done. :)
Here are the pertinents and such:
Fabric Used: 32 count Cashel linen in Fog by Picture This Plus from their Crystal (opalescent) line.
Fibers Used: DMC in 300, 451, 452, 779, 838, 869, 920, 922, 948, 3354, 3371, and 3743. Kreinik (#4) Braid in #002 HL #008 HL Green, #102 Vatican Gold, #150V Vintage Amber, Blending Filament in #092 Star Pink. Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid in PB44 (Autumn Red). Glissen Gloss Sparkle metallic in SP01.
Beads Used: Mill Hill beads in 00556 Antique Silver, 02011 Victorian Gold, 02023 Root Beer, 02034 Autumn Flame, 03049 Rich Red, and 42014 Petite Black.
Stitcher's notes: As of this writing, I do not know where the chart for the kitty came from. S/he was found in a binder of cross stitch charts that I had for a long time and I tweaked the design to fit how I needed it to fit. The chart itself has no designer information such as name, blog, etc. Should I find the designer, I will be happy to post a link to the designer and give him/her credit. Began stitching on Saturday, September 21, 2008.

Congrats on a fabulous finish! I have this one in my to-do pile. I didn't realize how many beads are in this until I saw your close up photos.
It's lovely, and you did a beautiful job!
What a gorgeous finish! It is stunning :)
She's so lovely! Congrats on such a lovey finish. All that metallic thread and beading would have driven me crazy, but you did it like a champ!
