Sew Dance

Turns out I only stitched Lanarte kits this week. Caught up with the Mystery SAL, although I still have to do the part that came out Friday. Then I started this one. Here's where I was before the 24 Hours of cross-stitch weekend. I did 24 hours of work. Mostly with slippery gold threads. Isn't this so pretty the way they presented it? I don't think I've had a kit wrapped in tissue paper before. Also did a tiny bit of jewelry making. But I need a better set of tools. I'm supposed to cut that thick chain, but the clippers I have barely clip the wire. Pattern suggestions welcome for this thread. It's size 5. I thought it would be size 10 when I ordered it. I guess I can make doilies, but not sure. And Clyde was being silly this week. Not sure what this pose was about.

Sleepy hollow has a new skull and most of the horse completed. Once I finish this page it's mostly border, then I get to start the backstitching. Also made earring from kits I got in one of previous stash purchases. The colors aren't the best. The first is a dark blue/purple mix and the second is three shades of purple. Then there's Onyx. Can you tell I love my cat yet?   And finally the other stash that accompanied the fairy I posted last week.
