Oliver's Back

Yesterday I decided it was time to turn the stitchery below into something useful!

 
Easier said than done when this fellow's about!


 He just doesn't get that rolling around on a cutting mat is NOT a good idea!


 And potentially perilous!
  

Oliver Henry


Brat and sooky la la!


 Anyway, here's where I'm at with my (modified) Cottage Blessings bag.

Pattern by Natalie Lymer and  Rouenneries fabric ... still loving it!

  1. Have you heard the expression "cut cat"? Love the bag front, Christine. Is that the stitchery for Anne's challenge from Material Girls???

  2. Gotta love cats; they just dont understand sharp blades. Bella likes to drape across my cutting mat too, the more in-the-way she is, the happier she is....

  9. Oliver and Moggie would make a good tag team. She likes to throw whatever she decides is suitable that day onto the floor.
    Gets hazardous at times...and when she goes to sleep next too a hot iron!!!!
    I suspect she thinks it has been put on for her benefit...like the gas heater that she sprawls in front of.

  11. I love your combination of Natalie's stitchery design and Rouenneries...!! I will keep it in mind because I still couldn't decide how to use my precious Rouenneries fabric (silly, I know).
