Christmas Cat Cross Stitch

Another little cross stitch pattern completed...one more down in the run up to Christmas. I've done something I have always wanted to do but never been brave enough and plucked up courage this week to do this cross stitch on the tram on the way to work. Yes I got some funny, inquisitive looks but I don't care! I am embracing my skill as it is something to be proud of. I'm surprised you don't see more people doing it.

Christmas Cat Cross Stitch Pattern

My plan is to make this into a Christmas ornament which can be hung on the tree. I am going to give to my fiances mum with her Christmas card in honor of the new member of the family her new kitten Legolas. I'm not a massive fan of cats but this pic does make me go arrr...don't you agree.

In other news I have stumbled across a couple of new blogs today which I have been inspired by. Another craft item to add to the Christmas list is this Christmas pudding pinata, found on http://peasandneedles.blogspot.co.uk/ I think it will be great fun to do with friends and family this Christmas, as long as no one gets injured!

Christmas Cards

It's beginning to be feel a lot like Christmas..yay!

When buying a cup of tea earlier today the cashier wished me a 'Merry Christmas'... now hold up, stop right there we are in November! Now I love Christmas but that is too early for me! When I questioned this he replied saying 'well it's exactly six weeks today till boxing day', he had a point making it 48 sleeps till Christmas day...yipee! 

Filled with this Christmas cheer, I had a sudden urge when home to watch Home Alone (quite possibly one of the best Christmas films of all time), drink hot chocolate and to make Christmas cards. Well I ended up watching Gossip Girl instead (my favourite TV program) and I've run out of hot chocolate but I did make some Christmas cards. 

Sketched out in pencil first and then covered over in a gel pen, these cute little cards where simple and cheep to make and add a personalised touch to the festive season.
