(I kindly ask you not to zoom on this one - who looks good after a 3 hours ride?? LOL)I'll post photos and write more about the vacation in the following days after I have delivered a job for tomorrow, tonight I shall spend the evening typing away...
However, I just couldn't resist showing this last finish. I made three major changes: 1) I replaced the year with Jul (Merry Christmas in Norwegian), 2) I extended the red bar to the right in the window with the pine tree - a part was missing on the chart, I am not sure if it had a meaning I didn't understand or if it is an actual error but trust me, it looked weird the way it was. I mean the bars under the two red bells - see photo up.
and 3) I didn't use the brown linen included in the kit. I used 32 ct Belfast Planinum Pizzaz from Zweigart - see the blueish opalescent elements! It is just marvelous and I plan to use the half yard I got for many future works, especially ornaments. Just love it!! It played so well with the Crescent Colors floss from the kit. I wasn't so fond of the previous yearly kits - but now I see I might stitch them again on something else than the brown linen included in the kit - anything looks better than its sad color!!
This was such a fun stitch, like with all PS charts!! I especially love this finish... plan to turn it into a bigger pillow one day, but not very soon - Christmas gifts making has to happen first.
Till later....
Oh, I was about to forget - if you have nothing, I mean really nothing better to do after reading me, check THIS LINK to see our furry friends in real life. There are 4 more short movies uploaded (More from...). The quality is not so good because I filmed with the new iphone and the light was not easy. Some were made in the cabin and some in the old room the kiddos are using here downstairs. Enjoy!
Isn't he beauuuuutiful? :) How could anyone, really...

Love the stitching!!! It gets me in the mood for Christmas! Love your cat...he's so beautiful!!
Great PS finish and I'm looking forward to vacation pics, too.
Gorgeous stitching Anna. Just lovely. The little video files of your cats were cute. I loved it to see Happy in one of them. What a cutie he is.
So if something headed out to your address in Poland today, would it get to you?
I love your changes to the PS kit. I love her designs, but she does indeed tend to use such DRAB colors for the linens. LOL.
My computer is soooooooo slow, but when I get to work I will use the hi-speed connection there to look at the videos of the cats. Can't wait to see them.
Your PS finish is beautiful. I see what you mean about the window thing. Your choice of fabric is lovely. I haven't tried this type of fabric yet.
