I surely wouldn't call tonight's progress on Bordeaux Sampler monumentuous, but since this is my own personal stitching journal, I will still put in a photo of tonight's work. I am hoping that I will soon be finally through Part 4. Part 4 is the center of the sampler, and I consider it to be the hump. I almost didn't pick it up tonight due to a severe headache, but I really do want to stick to my schedule with it.
I forgot I had this photo sitting on my desktop. This is Gig (blonde) and Anouk (grey and white) on Sunday morning - catching some fresh air in the window, as a little snow from Saturday night was melting away.... signs of spring in New England! (And, Gig and Anouk are rarely seen here, so I figured I would share them too - someone asked how many cats I have? 6, all persians).Someone mentioned in my blog comments today... Andrea, I think?... that animals often get white spots in their fur at the site of an injury. You are right - I think! I noticed the greying/white spot pattern on Angus is around his neck (where he wore that Elizabethan collar for so long, and his underside/butt where he was shaved and surgery was performed) - well done you - I believe you solved it for me! Thank you!
Stitched on today: Stitched a gift (start to finish), and Bordeaux Sampler

Carol your Bordeaux sampler is really coming along nicely!! Very pretty! I too woke up today with a headache! We have really high pollen right now, grass and oak tree and of course I am really allergic. My dogs are having trouble too with allergies. We have found a new vet and he sounds like he is really good and caring, not like the one that is so money oriented. This one is an excellent surgeon too, so I am glad of that too. Your kitties are really pretty! They look very happy and content! Hope you feel much better very soon!! Debby :)
You're so dedicated to keep to your scheduled stitching even with a headache. Take care of yourself, friend!!
Cute picture of the kitties, Carol. Blonde persians are so unique.
I love cats but Persian cats are the cutest...they get all their fur nice & fluffy when dry but when they are wet...that is one drenched cat with their funny looks.
Any wet cat photos to share? Before and after of all the 6 cats.
Gig and Anouk look like they are really enjoying the weather. It is warmer here now too, and mine are having fun sitting in windows and getting a bit of fresh air also after the long winter. Bordeaux continues to look lovely. You said this is now about half way, I hadn't realized how large it would be when finished.

Your BS is looking fabulous as always :) How big is it? It looks like it is huge from the pictures?!
Your little fur babies are sweeties :)
The cats are so cute!
I just love your kitties! I've been reading your blog for almost a year and I didn't realize that you had 6 persians! I've always had persians and hymmies and whenever I see pictures of yours, I miss my last kitty Bailey the hymmie so much. I'm thinking it's finally time to bring another kitty into my life. :-)
Your cats are gorgeous. I would LOVE to have six cats. LOL! My allergies seem to be worse than usual this year, though, so I guess I'll have to make myself six cross-stitched kitties...
Aww what adorable kitties! 6 huh? And all persians! Their cute. :o)
Bordeaux is looking great!
Bordeaux is just gorgeous. I hope your headache is better. Two cuties in the window!
Hope that the headache has gone away. Love the pic of the kitties they are adorable
Bordeaux Sampler is looking gorgeous and I love the picture of your kitties
Gorgeous pictures of some of your cats, they are lovely :-) Do you have one with them all together?
Nice progress on both your stitched pieces.
I didn't realize that the Bordeaux sampler was going to be that big. Looks great!
I love that sampler more and more every time I see it! Your kitties are so adorable - all puffy and annoyed-looking :)
Wow, 6 Persians...that's a lot of kitty hair! My eyes are watering and my nose is stuffing up just thinking about it...LOL. Gotta love allergies.
I like Anouk's little white moustache....makes me think of Sam Elliot's character in "Tombstone". :-)
Carol-your Bordeaux sampler is beautiful, but OMG! Gig and Anouk are gorgeous! Those are two pretty cats.
Gig & Anouk look very content! I didn't know about the fur changes at the injury sites.
Learning new things all the time
