👀 - ooo, that would be so cool!

Wildwestcats @wildwestcats.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks!

Wildwestcats @wildwestcats.bsky.social · 1d

NO WAY!! How freaking cool! Did you create any of the other cross stitch patterns on the site? I want to do the nudibranches sometime in the nearish future.

I can't doodle worth a darn but I can cross stitch! I finished this earlier this year. Pattern from London's Natural History Museum: www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/cro...

Cross stitch of a Giant Squid. Squid is in shades of orange. The two longest tentacles are held up in a semicircle while the rest dangle below. There is some white detailing on the ends of the longest tentacles and top of the fins. Stitched on navy blue Aida fabric.

Why is Tabi crying???

In just four days, she and her sister Annie will have been here for ONE YEAR. As you can see, she is a lap cat that loves cuddling! Why have they been passed over for so long!? Rescue them in #Tucson!

CHAD (6yr) is one of the most remarkable cats we've ever had. He is large, gentle, and intense. He is bonded with his best friend Squidge (7) and they would like to go home together.

... Where he can stare at you. Like this. All day. #Tucson

PLEASE TURN OFF OUTDOOR FANS AT NIGHT! Fans can injure or kill bats. This California leaf-nosed bat has some head trauma from a fan run-in. Please keep any outdoor fans off all night even if they don't have lights. 🦇

Another motif from my current cross stitch project. Didn't realize Arizona Iced Tea was specifically 90s!

#crossstitch #90s

Cross stitched Arizona Iced Tea can. Top and bottom rims are stitched in a straw gold color. Can is a light minty green. On the left are letters stitched in white that spell out Arizona. There are sprays of dark brown branches with pink buds on the ends of many of them. The can is outlined in black.

Hi Cat Lovers!

He’s off to a great start, but there’s a way to go. He’s hoping to buy cat houses for this colony before it gets cold and to stock up on supplies for the winter.

Please help and share!

Another 90s motif from my current cross stitch project. I like that this project has lots of little elements. I get a lot of satisfaction hits from the completion of the little pieces even though I'm a ways from actually completing the whole thing!

#crossstitch #90s

Cross stitched game controller stitched in light purple. Cross-shaped button on left is stitched in dark purple. There are 2 horizontal dark purple lines at center top and 2 diagonal dark purple lines slanted towards the right on the center bottom. There is a group of 4 small cross-shaped buttons on the right in a diamond pattern. Top button is dark blue, right side is orange, bottom is yellow and left is pale green. There is a black cord coming out of the top center. Controller and all buttons are outlined in black. There is also some dark purple outlining the small buttons.

Working on a new cross stitch project while finishing up another one. This one has all kinds of delightful 90s motifs and is SO COLORFUL! (when you see the one I'm finishing up, you'll understand my excitement at lots of color!)
#crossstitch #tamagotchi #90s

Cross stitch tamagotchi. The top is a light pink, the sides are lavender and the bottom is dark purple. There are 3 dark pink buttons on the bottom. The screen is framed with jagged edges in a turquoise blue. The screen area has bars of lemon yellow at the top and bottom. The rest of the screen is a light green. In the center are 2 closed eyes and a smile. The piece is outlined in black.

I've been cat sitting this weekend. This is Ceelo. I think he's slightly confused about being here. Yesterday we were good friends but he got mortally offended this morning when I had to fish him out from under my bed. It's almost 9 pm and I think we're finally friends again!

A shorthaired black cat is laying in a cat tree tray. The cat has pretty gold green eyes and is on his side, looking up and to the side. The cat tree is covered in beige carpet. Above the bottom tray you can see part of a tunnel and above that the lip of the upper tray. There is a post on the right wrapped in sisal.

Shorthaired black cat with pretty green gold eyes. He's on his side, paws tucked under, looking at the photographer. He's laying on a brown couch on top of a cover made from colorful patchwork pieces of sari material mostly in shades of green. There is also a fuzzy brown blanket in the foreground with white writing. One of the words is Love. The other words are only partially seen

The #businesscats better be careful! They might find themselves on a committee if they aren't paying close attention!

Yay! Cheddar and his poems are back!

Been working on my post carding. I really like these postcards from LostArtistStudioShop on Etsy. Also, remember that small local elections are important! We need change ... well, everywhere... and I think working from the bottom up is the way to go.

A cartoon showing two cats facing each other - one has his back to the camera, he's all fluffed out and is looking at his phone... the other cat is telling him "Stop looking at the news. You're getting all puffy."
