Fireworks!


 
Design - "Liberty for All" (freebie)
Designer - Lizzie Kate
Fabric - 28 count Navy Jobelan
Fibers -  GAST & WDW changed cherry wine to garnet - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 4 July 2014
Completed - 5 July 2014

Fireworks! And on dark fabric too. Once again though I found it pretty straightforward stitching on the navy fabric.  I stitched outside and the natural light made it easy to see the holes and keep on track.

 On the home-front we had the potential for fireworks.
A young doe decided to check out Padma and Parvati Hufflepuff.

She was extremely curious.

Getting closer.

And closer still.

Padma is an alpha-cat, and generally he does not back down from a confrontation.

"Hmmmm," says the deer with a swipe of her tongue. 

Even closer, and still Padma does not cede any ground.


Well, perhaps finally a little too close for Padma's comfort.

So let's go check out Parvati!

Circling around...

"HISSSSS!," says Parvati.
I think Parvati is a Slytherin (rather than a Hufflepuff) as she sounds just like a snake when she gets riled! 

The cats say, "Retreat and live to fight another day."

One year ago today Mom and I visited Mary Queen of Scot's childhood home, Linlithgow Castle.

How cool that you were able to capture the kitty and deer encounter. I was lucky enough to watch a tame deer and raccoon share mulberries under the mulberry tree.
