Old Man Winter finally decided to make an appearance here this weekend. And while I would like nothing better than to sit in a cozy corner with some hot chocolate stitching all weekend while I watch it snow, it is unfortunately not to be.
Alas, I am scheduled to work instead.
I have been lucky thus far and haven’t had to dispatch any officers to an accident, but I still have half a shift tonight and a full shift tomorrow evening before this system is scheduled to move on its way.
Anyway, in a feeble attempt to fend off the weather, I decided to put the finishing backstitching touches on the Spring Cat of my Four Seasons Cats. Finishing this square technically puts this piece at only 25% done, but since this square could technically stand on its own, I have made the executive decision to consider it a happy dance… my first one of the year that is! 
I had originally planned to stitch one cat per season, predicting that I would be finishing the Winter Cat, and as a result, completing the entire piece right about now, but we all know about the best laid plans, don’t we? 
Well, I may not be finishing the whole thing any time soon, but provided that it is still winter and not one of the other seasons when I get back to this piece, I will still try to start the Winter Cat during its representative season.

Congratulations on your first happy dance of the year! The Spring cat look lovely. I am looking forward to seeing the rest as you work on them.

Spring cat is gorgeous, congratulations on such a pretty finish. I certainly agree that it should count as its own finish and not need to wait for the others to be done as well.
