Happy Monday!

Okay, okay. So that's somewhat an oxymoron, at least to me. Suffice to say, I'm glad the day's almost over...

Here are my two current cross stitch projects. I've found one of the main issues with stitching two flowers in shades of pink is that they require some of the same colors, and I've found myself needing the same color on both at the same time. So it's on to the green leaves on the poinsettia, even though I'm not finished with the pink flower yet. As for the rose (which will have a cat's face involved, one day), I'm working on the backstitch there.

(Batteries are a bit low in my camera. The fabric on both is actually white, and the pink flower are about the same color.)

Poinsettia pattern is from the 2003 Cross-Stitch Christmas magazine from Better Homes & Gardents. Rose (with cat) is from Leisure Arts publication 2821, Cats Galore (originally published in a For the Love of Cross Stitch Magazine)
