Must "Bee" Christmas Ornament

Just finished doing the finishing on this wee little ornament I stitched a few months back - it is designed by one of our fellow bloggers and she offers up her chart for free :-) I think it is sooo cute!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! This little finish was a fun break from mowing the lawn, balancing the checkbook.... now time to read and watch some baseball soon... And thank you all for the kind words regarding the loss of Gig. I spoke to our vet yesterday because Ava needed a med refill. She asked how we were doing. I told her we felt quite guilty, as we did not pick up on his increased vocalizations and a few other symptoms. She told us that since he never showed a heart murmur this was impossible to detect, and his disease was so far advanced when we found it that we should not let ourselves feel guilty, she feels we take very good care of our cats. I appreciated hearing that, but still.... feeling so guilty...

A really wonderful finish...how I love it!

I think feeling guilty is a universal thing. Maybe part of the grieving process. We ALL feel it! * hugs*

Great finish Carol! You gave your kitty a warm, loving home. I'm sure he was happy and thrilled to be loved by you and Mike. Please try to think of the happy memories and not feel so guilty. *hugs*

Thanks for the link to this freebie. It's so cute and makes a really sweet ornament.
Just through your past posts I know how much you treasure and take care of your beautiful cats. Please try not to feel guilty. You provided a very loving home for Gig.
This is such a subtle disease and we had no warning signs with Finnigan.
Sending lots of hugs your way.
