The Witching Hour - 52 Hours Stitched

The Witching Hour - 40 hours

I've carried on with the Witching Hour a little longer. Now at 40 hours stitching.

I'm going on to Cat Tales this week but I'm going to try and do an hour on this one a day too. 

Meet Friske

We were adopted by Friske at the end of July beginning of August.

She was different because when we first met her on the street she had recently had her tail docked by about 2 inches and it was unusual. 

She kept visiting us and sleeping in the outside cat shelter. 

So I decided I had to find her owner. She must have one because of the recent operation. 

I had posters up. Rang all local vets. But I got a breakthrough late on a Friday night. 

We arranged for her owner to collect her. Oh but we missed her all that day. 

Early on the Sunday morning Friske was back, she had escaped. 

We left it a week and contacted the owner to see if she'd been back but no, she had had kittens about 7 months ago and they had kept 2 of them and we think that's why she left home.

So we offered to adopt her. The owner said yes so I asked how old she is and she's roughly 14 months old. Had she had her injections. No came the reply.

What, she's allowed to go out but not had the injections to cover her. 

So I ring the vet and get a price of £49 and £20 for the microchip. 

Last Monday we went to the vets and started the first of 2 injections. 

So Friske now belongs to us. 

You can see why I'm stitching The Witching Hour. 

HAED - Witching Hour - Full page and bottom full page finished

Yay, it's looking good now, especially from a distance, one full page and one full bottom page finished.  I'm now going to the next bottom page, I was going to rotate but wanted to stay on this a little longer.

29 hours of stitching

Witching Hour - 23.5 hours stitching

I was hoping to have this page finished tomorrow but I doubt I will manage it, I was going to rotate with something else.  I'll see how I get on tomorrow.

Witching Hour HAED - 17 hours of stitching

It's coming along, now at 17 hours and I've nearly done 1 and half pages, there is a long way to go and a year or so of stitching.

Dymo Label Maker

I have been umming and arrrrring about a label maker for a while and because it was my birthday I asked for one.  I find the DMC labels you buy don't stick to the plastic bobbins, so I'm hoping this will, time will tell, bit expensive mine.

For my Witching Hour project I decided to switch to the stitchbow storage because I didn't fancy winding all the skeins onto bobbins.  That might change and I will switch back.
