I thought about going out today to the LNS, to the paint store, to Macy's for some socks. But I didn't. I hung out with Buckaroo and stitched instead. The light was pouring into the family room, which made it perfect for seeing a project done in 40 ct.
This is Midsummer Night Designs' "Peaceful Paradise," which I've been working on for a while and had put away because I was weary of it. Now it seems fresh again.
The design was not charted with this black bunny; I filled in a picture of my dear bunny, who died about a year ago, Bunnyman. I changed the color of the cat sitting next to him to look like Martha, our best-ever tabby, who hopefully is looking after the Bunnyman in heaven.
This is the section I'm working on--lots and lots of words. Sort of tedious, but not as tedious as my job.
Late in the afternoon I was tired of the little voice in my head urging me to go outside for a good walk. Do you have a naggy voice like that? Jeez, it wouldn't leave me alone, so out I went. It's cold, and I walked fast, so now I'm sort of sleepy. Something tells me I won't be stitching until 2 a.m. as I have the last two nights. I came home via the hill above my house, through the back yard and past the garden, which I'm planning to enlarge this year. Once inside, I got out the seed catalogues and started to put together an order.
Pink and Elvis, conferring. What a couple of bums!

Let's see ... some carrots here, some parsley along that side. Kale there, chard, some cilantro ... oh my .. we REALLY DO need a bigger garden.
Great snap of your kitty.
I love those bunny butt shots! What a great looking yellow tabby too! He looks like he is a very deep fellow and I'll be he's a great lap warmer.
Love to see the critters. Thanks for this blog.
Gosh, I never knew about Bunnyman, glad he is visually immortalized. We are having a warm snap and tried to find starts to throw in and see what happened, but lots of other people had the same idea. Let sleeping beds rest is the message.
I think you made a great choice to stay home and stitch with the furkids!
It's a bun bum bonanza today!
Those buns look like they're planning something!
How wonderful you can remember your loved ones by stitching them into a project!
How sweet that you put Bunnyman into your needlework! I'm sure I would do the same.
I love the pic of Pink and Elvis. Is that a magazine they're looking at? Might they be plotting a trip or a catlog order?
What a pretty piece - I love these Midsummer pieces that she's designed recently. And how wonderful the Bunnyman has taken up residence there as well!
Love that Midsummer Night design. And I like how you charted your bunny and cat in it. What a sweet tribute to your pets.
I just love all the pictures - and your personalizations for Peaceful Paradise are absolutely wonderful!
Agh! I didn't need to see that Midsummer design... I keep thinking about stitching it & am trying to resist. I love your WIP pic of it, soooo pretty. That's wonderful how you immortalized your furbabies on it, too.
