Craft and Shmooze
This is the counted cross stitch cat that I am currently working on during BIJ's monthly "craft and shmooze" get together. I have been working on this cat since my mom gave it to me back in May, 2009.
Once a month, for up to 2 hours, I work on the cat. There are a total of 6 cats in the picture, and since I have been working on this for nearly 7 months, I figure I should finish this in about 5 1/2 years. The only time I work on it during this monthly get together.
Craft and Shmooze was interesting today. I was the only "non-knitter" there. It was almost as if they were speaking another language!
I used to do counted cross stitch when I traveled, but now that things are so tight with security, I'm not sure they would allow me to bring the needle on board the airplane. I figured out a way to deal with the scissors though - use the cutter on the dental floss container. Pretty smart, huh? My friend Ann Morgenstern gave me that nifty little trick.
I will post a picture of the cats monthly after each craft and shmooze. Next one is on February 14, 2010 at 1pm. Stop by if you get a chance, and bring your project that you've been meaning to complete. I think it will be fun to see the progress I make, if any.
