And This Little Pig said Oh My Gosh

I recently received an email from Canada :D A lovely lady called 'little m' had stitched my freebie Cattle Country, so thrilled.

MJ attached a photo of the finished product, beautifully stitched, and the photograph gorgeously staged!

Hi Libbie in Oz;

Greetings from the Frozen North, more commonly known as Canada.  A while back I happened across your blog, and found your chart for Cattle Country. Loved it. Stitched it. Thought you might like to see.

I've named them Cocoa, Creamsicle, and Strawberry.  You can tell they're Canadian, 'cause Strawberry must have froze the end of her tail off in the cold snap while I was stitching her   =D

I have the flowered bull in my 'to do' pile also.  I'm going to post a copy of this photo to 'The Stitcher's Village' also (http://stitchersvillage.ning.com ) and will let them know where I found it.  Thanks again for posting the chart.

Thank you MJ I most definitely have enjoyed seeing it, and love how you have stitched this, and Strawberry most definitely lives in the Frozen North. The little 'mooses' on your wellies/gumboots are so cute.

On a stitching note, I have been stitching this week, after a nearly six week break. Should have a finish to post tomorrow.

Happy Mothers Day to my Mum and all the other mum's out there, hope you all had a lovely day!

PS I love Canada, a place I will visit when I win that elusive lottery ;-)

And This Little Pig said Cow-Day-Wednesday

Well hello one and all, this is going to be a different Cow-Day.

Last night I said I was having an early night, as we had over 500 head of cattle to sell and weigh today. Well I arrived this morning to do up all the paperwork and when I was finished low and behold, we had over 600 head....ahhhh.

So needless to say, I really did not get a chance to take any photos, and all of my 'held in reserve' photos are in my home computer (windows) which I still have not taken in to get a nasty virus removed by my IT man. Must remember to do that tomorrow.

So I have a special picture for you all, I did it last this up late last year...

Cattle County is my first real attempt at designing any thing, I saw this saying, and thought I can do this! You should have seen my first attempt at a cow, it wasn't very pretty. The girls all have slightly different ears, and eye placements, along with different shaped rumps (tail placements).

I have not given a colour key, as you can do anything with these girls, solid as above, or black and white in different 'cow' like patterns below.

Or even...

... the rainbow girls.

So all the usual stuff, free for personal use, not to be reproduced for sale, oh and if you wish to stitch, please send me a photo. I have yet to stitch, I still have all the crazies to contend with!
