First Finish For August!

I have a number of quick stitches that I keep around in case I am either not feeling well, or I am working the overnight shift. These are easy stitches that I can zone out on and just enjoy the process. Tonight's finish is part of the number of projects that I have kitted up and ready to go. I am happy that this is another one out of the Kit Bin and this makes #2 out of the four projects that came in the kit. Woohoo!

Well, at any rate, here it is: 

Design: Cats For All Seasons Summer Cat (2 of 4)

Designer: Nancy Javier and Barbara Finwall of Banar Designs for Better Homes and Gardens

Fabric: 14 count khaki aida of unknown manufacturer

Fibers Used: Unknown as provided in the kit

Bling Used: Mill Hill beads in #42014 Petite Black seed beads

Stitcher's Notes: Substituted beads for cat's eyes and nose. Left off wording at the bottom. Left off backstitching of flowers as I didn't think they needed it. Substituted  DMC Embroidery Floss Art. 117 in 610 and 3866 for colors used on cat as I felt the original yellows did not look ok. 

I have #3, Autumn cat, all kitted up and ready to go for when September rolls around. I cannot believe that fall is almost here! It's mild here for Lost Vegas this summer and I am *not* complaining at ALL! It's been in the low 100's for most of the summer, with occasional one or two days of 110+ days. Those days are no bueno. In just a few short weeks it will be Pumpkin ALL THE THINGS! 'Ray! I better get on the stick and finish up the Bin O'Shame projects that I have lined up to try and make it to 30 this year. Wouldn't that be a hoot?! :)

Well, I had best be off. Time to clean up the stitching area and get back to it. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I wish you all a happy and prosperous week ahead!
