I was tired of working on Faery Tales so I pulled out this new project - Princess Grace Ballgown. I loved this design from the moment a friend sent me the link I really had no desire to stitch her on white because you can't see her pearl necklace!!
So I chose to stitch her on a dark sparkly fabric - Crystal Phantom by PTP. I am loving how she pops on this fabric. I do have to laugh at myself because I am so used to completely covered pieces, I have had to stitch the face portion 3 times...I kept missing stitches!
We have a new furbaby!!! I would like you to meet Tiger Lily. The local shelter posted her picture with her story. She was found on the side of the road covered in fleas. The lady who found her couldn't keep her because she already had 3 cats. The shelter was full and was hoping someone would foster her. I sent her picture to my husband and he said...go get her. He thought Bert needed a friend.
She is so tiny compared to Bert. She made herself right at home and decided to meet all the animals.
I caught her on the footstool just about to attack Gibbs tail. Love this "I am so innocent" face.
First vet visit where she weighed in at a whooping 4.5 pounds. Other than the usual kitten case of worms, she received a clean bill of health!
She has such a long tail. She will not leave Bert alone...poor guy just wants to sleep without her pouncing and ready to play!

Princess Grace is stunning and goes great on the fabric you choose. And your new furbaby is so cute :)
Awww I would love a kitten but I am outvoted by the man of the house and the dog. One day , I keep telling myself. Super pattern and stitching of Princess Grace .
What a beautiful princess! I'm looking forward to seeing her come to life on that perfect fabric. And Tiger Lily - she's adorable! I hope Gibbs doesn't get too frustrated with her playfulness.
Great new start Vickie. I love your new furbaby. She is adorable.

Beautiful kitty! and love your new project.
Aww what a cute kitty! We would have gotten another yesterday if our apartment let us lol. It's too bad we don't live close our kitten needs a playmate too. Your stitching is lovely!
Love the stitching, and the new furbaby, so cute!
Very pretty pattern. And such a cute kitten.
The fabric you chose looks so pretty with the stitching. It is a stunning piece. And yay for a new kitten in the household!
Oh Vickie, Princess Grace is gorgeous and I love the fabric you picked for her. Love the new addition to the family and I hope that Bert will be happy with the new playmate!
Oh what a beautiful new start. Love it on the dark fabric. I do the same thing when not working on a covered totally piece. What is this counting in counted cross stitch? LOL
Congrats on the new furbaby. Too cute!
Congrats on the new addition to your family! I keep saying it's time to get Bam a new brother, but the "right" one just hasn't come along yet.
I really love this design, too! I've debated twice whether or not to get it (like I need more stash?).
Congrats on your new furbaby. Cute!
