First I'd like to introduce my newest member of my family - Smoky. I was doing some gardening a couple of weeks back and had tossed a rock really close to my front porch. I noticed a little gray paw come out from under and try to play with it. Well long story short - this little kitty was under my porch and now has become a member of our household.
Now on to stitching -
Another pillow completed from the Pine Mountain series. This was actually completed the end of July but I had to wait until I got my bird button. It's the May pillow - I just grab out of my stash in obviously no particular order - lol.
I changed the wing as the DMC color the chart used was almost identical to the body of the bird. I found a floss that was identical to what was shown in the picture which really made the wing stand out. I blinged the eyes and the bird house entry with black metallic iron on embellishment (glued on) and instead of stitching the bird on the flower I chose a button. Then I added 4 large buttons to the corner of the pillow to finish it off. I think it turned out pretty cute!

What a sweet cat! It's cool when they pick you, isn't it. Your pillow is cute. I had to smile, the pink flower on it is very similar in shape and color to the one I am stitching on right this minute in front of the computer! I'm working a pink flower in coton Perle #8.
Beautiful kitty! It is nice when they "adopt" you and your family! The finish on your pillow is really pretty. Love it when we can invividualize a project and make it our own! Deb in Tx
