It is raining today, so I will spend the rest of the day crafting after I write this post. I finished assembling the crocheted kitty. I do not like it at all.
The head is waaaay to big for the body and the head looks like it belongs on a mouse.
I will not be giving this to my new granddaughter.
Instead, I have started making a lamb.
I have also started work on the Charming Santa ornament for my new granddaughter. Her brother got one for his first Christmas so I decided that she should have one also.
Sewing the first two rows together for Windows Into My World was quite the ordeal. A good deal of time was spent taking them apart and resewing.
Getting the intersections to line up correctly is challenging with all the little fabric "ears". You can see how it looks on the back.
I have removed some of the papers.
I am going to 3 or 4 fitness classes each week at 9 am at a local gym. I thought I would be more sore from the classes, but it appears that I am in okay shape for these workouts. There are some moves that I find difficult and some that are near impossible for me, but I am mostly keeping up. I have never been able to accomplish a sit up and that is still true. I am working on strengthening those muscles though.
I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching and Frederique at the Quilting Patch. Make yourself some tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow Cathie , you are a busy bee , and Keep Fit too.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the energy , I do a little keep fit at home though .
Love the cat and the sheep etc.
The GC will love them.
Enjoy your Sunday , hugs June.
Fun kitty! I understand how you feel about it, and I'm sure the lamb is going to please you better. The first rows of Window are very pretty, but yeah, it doesn't look like an easy project.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your work in progress and linking up.
I like the big head on the kitty! The lamb is adorable too.
ReplyDeleteI still love following your window to the world project. It's beautiful. The time spent on it is paying off. Good for you going to fitness classes! I go to several different YMCA water fitness classes during the week. I surely tell a difference if I don't go. Keep moving and trying. It will come.
ReplyDeleteI would probably like water fitness classes also, but there are none that are super close to my home and I know that if it isn't close, I won't go. I definitely feel more energetic when I go to the classes.
DeleteLovely projects. We have an indoor pool nearby where I join my daughter 3 days a week for aqua yoga. It is raining today here too!
ReplyDeleteThat lamb is cute! You were so smart to move on from the odd kitten. The Windows project looks amazing, but I'm sorry getting the blocks together the way you want them is so challenging. Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI love when I can keep up with my video workouts I feel so empowered. That lamb is going to be cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Being someone who works in the dumpster rental, I see too many beautiful projects like this thrown away. I'm happy to see people appreciating them. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathie: Love the Mill Hill Santas, so sorry the head is so big for the kitty, the sheep look like an adorable design, Windows into My World, wonderful progress.

Lovely kitty 😺 and lamb. 😇
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLove the kitty and the lamb, both! (I saw the lamb on the future post!?!) I think that's one of the points of amigurumi--the head is way bigger than the body, therefore super cute!!!
