Sorry for the late post. I had a busy 6th of September, one of our national holidays. There was some work to do at home and I almost died so I totally forgot about the weekly thread. Ah well, better late than never!

Have you progressed on your WIPs? How has your week been?

I am taking a week off the Greenhouse. Nevertheless I finished the corpse flower!

Also I have a new WIP - a kit that I got from a Babushka in Sofia for like 5€. It's made of polyester and is surprisingly nice to work with.

The cat reminds me of Garfield lol! I would be tempted to try to add a title to the book

Was about to yell at you for being so fast but then I realised the pattern is printed on the fabric and not already all stitched up. Yeah I'm fractious today 😅

Yeah I had a thing for stamped kits. That's how I got into the hobby in the first place. Nowadays I prefer the traditional method but this felt like a cheap treat so I got it on impulse!

I've never actually tried one but they do seem like they'd be a really good shout for those times when you want to stitch and not think.
