Let's see if I can remember all of the cross stitch I did since the last time.

2 merkitties, teal and green
6 spooky cats: ghost, skeleton, bat, vampire, Frankenstein, mummy
Darth Vader, choking hazard
almost finished with a capybarista

Going to make a Digger cross stitch or two, and try to give at least one to UV at Worldcon.

Triceratops dog(s):

Rottweiler? (the smaller one)

Triceradachs? (-dox, -dachshund)
Haven't made this pattern yet, so getting the size right would be harder.

Maybe a beagle?
Or a corgi?


Possibly also stegasaurus dog.

Made three little cross stitch poodles: black (with white backstitching), brown, and hell- (black and gray with red outlining, horns, and tail).

Very cute pattern.

Made a round kitty, a further adaptation of the dino-kitty pattern. Tail is too low, and I'm not sure it needs the back legs. Tail is also too thin, although the very fluffy fur on this one disguises the problem.

Thinking about renaming the dino-kitty to kittysaurus. This would be a better match for the Jurassic Bark that I now want to make. (Probably--almost certainly--Dalmatian fur. CR's Crafts has it.)

An adaptation of the mayhaps pattern. Needs bigger ears next time.

I made a defragged zebra, with the black and white colors sorted together instead of mixed.

Pushmi-pullyu, but a pig: Pushmi-pigyu.

Mayhaps variants:
Dino-kitty: ears, slit eyes, whiskers
Round kitty: above plus cat tail, four little legs
(redesign the legs to go in seams, also round kitty's tail)

colors for the kitties: white, gray, black, Siamese, tortoiseshell, etc.

Finally finished the Three Doctors cross stitch (all it needed was the rest of the backstitching). Also made a little narwhal from the simple animal kit.

One last acrylic class at the library: painted a cardinal and beech trees in the snow. I like it!

Made a little houndstooth mayhaps, for Philcon. Got the feet on back to front, but it's otherwise satisfactory.

Took that stained glass weekend class again, with a different instructor. We were able to make free-form pieces instead of a panel. I made: the teddy bear that I desperately wanted, a great bat, and a little black Halloween cat.

Crocheted another four chicks on my recent trip. But I didn't have a yarn needle, so I couldn't finish them. I did that yesterday. They're very cute.

Painted the cats in the window that I've been thinking of. Managed to get four and a half in, not just four, although the extra half is a kitten. Mottled tortie/calico on a black base, solid gray (in my head it's a gray tux, but only the back is visible), seal point Siamese, white with black spots, calico kitten. I think this is the best painting I've done so far. Certainly my favorite.

I also started a winter scene, with white ground and blue-white sky. Not sure what else goes on it. Something will come to me.

Did the autumn forest painting that I've been wanting to do. It's... okay, I guess. I need to figure out how to do a non-transparent yellow! Using the thicker paint didn't help much.

Another tiny animal cross stitch, this time an orca. From the kit of ten animals.

Acrylics class at the library today, probably the last one I will do. I really like the cat in the window. I wish I had dared pattern it, like some people did; I guess I'll have to do more.

Finished the Disappearing TARDIS cross stitch. It came out great. Still needs a back; I'll probably use the TARDIS fabric from my blouse and fusible web.

Dragon eye painting, which I'm titling Peeping Dragon. Because I have silver paint.

Another void painting, with the other cat silhouette that I had cut out. This one has eyes! There's a nebula in the upper left corner; I think it came out well.

Going to try a supernova painting. Thought about making it a cat shape (thought of it while doing this last painting), but I think I will refrain.

aka Doorway to Faerie, a painting. It came out well, I think. This means that I can probably also do the Golden Path painting that I want, and will thus need a full panel at Philcon.
