Some cats I was doodling during a meeting in 2012. These guys are reminiscent of the cats from *Buy One, Get One Free, a short cartoon I did with Charlie Bean and Carey Yost at Hanna-Barbera back in 1995.
Happy Monday to you! As we slide back into routine after the Christmas season, I bet a lot of you have been thinking about stitching goals, especially since there have been a lot of blog posts doing year-end wrap-ups and setting goals for 2015. I usually don't set stitching goals, especially quantitative ones. I find I can easily change my mind during the year when I see someone else stitching something I GOTTA have! You know the feeling! I didn't name it but I like Mary's TYRA - The Year of Reckless Abandon is the spirit of her stitching this year!

Anne Wells by Birds of a Feather The second one I love too for those orange flowers! Actually I think Paulette picked really wonderful colours for this one.
