This is Gold which is a project I started years ago. It is one of a set of three designs from Anchor based on Lesley Anne Ivory cats. I already finished one which I gave to my Mum and I always intended to get the other two done to complete the set but I stalled and this project got shoved under the bed for two years. I dug it out and I'm going to finish it up :-)
When it came out from under the bed.........
Now...........
I also stitched this gorgous heart designed by Abi Gurden for valentines day, check out the Stitch Specialists group foe info. It is the first bit of hardanger I've gone but Abi was extreemly helpful and answered all my questions and provided lots of help. Thank you Abi!! I chose to stitch my heart on 32ct amber linen, Bohemian Tryst silk from the Thread Gatherer, some metalic madeira perle and white dmc and mill hill seed beads.
Now I'm finishing up my chicken giveaway ornaments, so watch this space :-)

Your blog looks GREAT and so does your stitching!!
That's a beautiful heart you've made, and the cat is looking very content that it is no longer an ufo.
Hugs Yvon.
Great progress on the cat. I love the heart project, I printed it off, but haven't even thought of fabric or fibers - you made really nice choices
Your cat is adorable and the heart is fabolous with all those speciality stithces!
Oh wow, that's loads of progress, and a gorgeous picture. I've not seen that before.
Wonderful progress on your cat. Have a happy IHSW weekend! x
