Substitutions – German Ch0colate for DMC 400/300 mixed witth Valdani aged black .In any case, I added 1572 and have most of the first critter stitched.

George looked at his and said “Fox?” No the eats are wrong as is the head shape.
But more importantly – Cleo is done.

I added the last 37 beads + the six treasures (they arrived in the mail today. Plus added in some of the back stitching. I might add a bit more, but I just can’t see outlining skin in black. Anyway – she is on 32 ct vintage country mocha linen.
Otherwise, I have a disgusted cat here. He is looking for third supper.
Just not going to happen
