Making progress
by chuckofish
Last month I blogged about getting back to my unfinished needlepoint project, “Naxos Cat” by Ehrman Tapestry’s Elian McCready. I am determined to finish it and I have made progress recently. Let’s hear it for me!
I also bought this pillow at a recent estate sale. It is a large needlepoint picture of Edinburgh Castle. Isn’t it great? It needs to be made into a new pillow, losing its black polyester frame and backing, but I really love it.
I am looking forward to a trip to the world-famous needlepoint store in this flyover state, The Sign of the Arrow. Daughter #1 worked there when she was in high school and once took a call from Kate Spade New York asking about finishing costs. But then, Kate Spade is a flyover girl herself, so she would be in the know.

Beautiful! I love your cat and you find the best things at estate sales. I’m jealous.
The cat!! And I’d forgotten about the Kate Spade call…if only I’d asked for a job.
Yes, the cat, which is so hard and the color variation so slight that it is enough to make a grown man burst into tears. Luckily I am not a grown man, so I can handle it (barely).
