Nemo & Christmas cat

I tried to work on my Halloween project. I got my fabric all counted out and set up in my frame... and then I just sat there staring at it. I couldn't seem to start it so I set it aside and finished Nemo.



I changed some of the colors for the backstitching because what the kit said just didn't show up enough. So after finishing Nemo I still couldn't seem to start my Halloween stitch so I decided i'd try another Christmas ornie and then try the Halloween one again. I have seen some really pretty blackwork designs and found a cat to try out. To make him Christmas i'm making him red/green instead of black. And I think i'll put a bow around his neck with ribbon or put a little bell. Not sure yet which. But here is what I've gotten done so far. I'm still trying to decide if i'll have enough or too much green vs red.



Happy Stitching!
