~ Hello Kitty ~


Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
Friday Friday ~ what are your plans for the weekend?

mine are to stitch of course!
my punch needle has been put aside for the time being...
~ my right hand is arthritic and hurts too much if I punch for long stretches.

After dyeing the linen and osnaburg yesterday,
I am back to my cross stitching.

SO enjoying stitching over one on 30ct linen {as I did for Matilda Hornbuckle}
I enjoy looking at antique samplers on Pinterest,
~ and found a few that sing to my cat-loving soul...

aren't these the cat's meow?
or is it cat's pajamas?
either way....
