coverkit from this month’s WOXS mag. I’m really
enjoying it.” @smartcookiesam via Twitter

“Cross stitching with my kitty helper. She loves to
curl up in my lap! Almost done with ‘The Meadow’
by Wrendale.” ramblingkitty via Instagram

“And it’s a finish! Only a tiny one, but it’s a finish!
So, I’ll take that (and start something new).”
