BFF SAL 27 - wow

How are we at number 27 already?  Seems hard to believe.

This is a fun little stitch, which should be done well before its intended usage.  This was a part of my birthday gift from my BFF. 


I've cleaned up a little bit of shadow with a clever AI bit but it's still not the greatest, but can you put mine together with my BFF's and guess what it is yet?

BFF SAL 26 - a finish

This week I had 2 finishes, the first being a new garden office, which I used to hold our online session.

It was lovely to have our time together from the new space, after my first full working day at the desk out there.  And the lighting was grand!

And then, the cat, I like this one. A bit like my BFF, I don't plan on using the card that came with it to frame. Scuse the shadows, the lights are super bright.

BFF SAL 26 - the One That Wasn't

There was too much of everything apart from stitching time or headspace last week.

The catch-up that I had dispensation for only partially happened, and I was unable to get the leaves under the cat done.


So this week I did my catch-up in session and my BFF made progress on some other stitching.  I will allow her to tell or show more as she desires here

Backstitch together for our next meeting.

BFF SAL 26 - still playing catch-up


Looks like Balaclava Cat has come to visit me too!

After a busy week with time in London for work, followed by a takeaway that was delivered really late, I didn't get much done in our session this week.  I'll need to play catch-up offline.  Thankfully my BFF has given me dispensation to do so!

BFF SAL 26 - filling up like a milkshake

Nygh!! I was making great progress tonight and then realised I had gone wrong several rows and one thread change ago!

I think I probably unstitched more than I put back in today.

But, any progress is good on that kind of day.  And the result looks like the subject is being filled up from the bottom like milkshake in a glass.  Why milkshake?? I genuinely have no idea but that's what meno-brain supplied and I'm sticking to it.

BFF SAL 26 - back to black

Continuing where I left off last time, starting back with the main colour.

It looks a little more like something other than a cartoon dinosaur now!  Although the black outline still gives a cartoon vibe.

But best of all was just being back together for a natter and a few stitches, after a very hard few weeks for my dear friend before and after the loss of her lovely Dad.  A little serving of normal in the new world.

BFF SAL 26 - a new seasonal start

Little parts of this give clues to the subject, but for me that V in the middle is giving Badger vibes!!
