Happy Day and Cat

Hello dear friends.
This week saw me doing a stress test, phew! I ran 10minutes on treadmill upto 3.5mph. I didn't realize my heartbeat could go that fast. The cardiologist said "everything" looked good on his monitor (while I was catching my breath, pining for a seat and mentally wanting to grab his collar, lol), we'll see what he reports back to my primary doc.
Okay, enough with the stressy stuff. Here's some relaxing stories to share:

 Backstitch breakthrough, my girl is complete! Then...
Backstitch setback:

Do you see the white words? Umph, all these cross stitches scream flowers to me, why the need to spell it out 3x in one page, haha. I'll try to come up with words that can fit that brown signboard. In the meantime, I've started the boy's side to backstitch.

Not to be outdone is Contented Cat (don't want that to become Discontented Cat, lol)  

 What a fun ride as all xstitches finally done! Yipee!
3 colors achieved- med. antique blue (background), vy. light mahogany, and white.

 

Just backstitch remaining on these two WIPs. I plan to "commit" my day-off next week to do just that. For nighttime stitching, I'll grab the other two - mini sampler and Reindeer Games (which definitely needs my attention right now).

Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!
