Hey, I did promise that UFO pictures would be forthcoming, didn’t I?
Anyway, I’m kind of proud of this one, if only because I just started it earlier this year after finishing another UFO. That has to be some kind of record for me. My UFOs are usually years in the making.
It’s “Too Pooped” from Dimensions, based on original artwork by Charles Wysocki. My dad picked it up for me when he was out of town on business, and although it does seem like a strange choice for a souvenir, he definitely had me pegged with it. This kept me occupied way longer than, say, a keychain or shot glass. Cross-stitch and cats are the perfect (notice I didn’t say “purrfect”) combination.
What a lot of brown! I was clever and did most of the tree first so that I had fun kitty stripes at the end rather than just brown and more brown. I think finding the perfect frame earlier in the summer helped motivate me too – all that was missing was the completed needlework.
Our youngest cat routinely positions herself thusly on backs of chairs, arms of couches, etc., garnering cries of “Too pooped!” whenever she does.
