January Kitty

 

Found what looks like is going to be a very cute monthly series, just starting in this Etsy shop. I probably won't stitch every month in this one, but I really liked the January kitty, so here she is. I stitched it as charted with the recommended DMC. I didn't have the blue glass treasures or the blue beads called for, so I just used a couple of buttons from my stash and Mill Hill beads #2009.

The February kitty is also available. Am I the only stitcher on the planet who doesn't stitch Valentine's Day? I think there are a few reasons. I'm not really a "heart" person. I don't have any in my decor and I don't think I've ever stitched just a heart. I'm also not a fan of pink and red together. And finally, my birthday is not long before Valentine's Day and I've always been more interested in that! So I'm skipping February kitty and we'll see what March looks like. If it's shamrocks and rainbows, I'll probably skip that one too. Who knows, I may only end up stitching the fall and winter kitties... which I'm sure wouldn't surprise y'all!

Happy Stitching!

  3. I don't stitch Valentine day either. Too cute, too pink/red, too predictable. Similar for St. Patricks day. Though I do find the idea of a cat armed with bow & arrow (the February pattern) rather funny given the damage they can create when unarmed.

  4. That’s a really cute stitchery - thanks for the link. And, what a good idea.Stitch one for each season and just put the season, instead of the month, on it. I like the idea!

    1. If I stitch all the fall and winter kitties I'll still have quite a collection!

  8. Very sweet design! A monthly series can be fun, but it's a great idea to stitch your favorite fall and winter kitties. You mentioned your birthday is in the first part of this month- I hope you have a lovely day!

  10. Love these kitties. I can see stitching the months that represent cats in my life. January is Leonard, February is Whitey. We will see what the other months bring! Thanks for pointing this series out.
