We had a week off work today, and as we were traveling for a couple day (visiting a bunch of different friends and family members - busy, busy!) I wanted a new, travel friendly project. And there actually was a project that I had been eyeing for a while, so I went to play with some of my fabrics, found a perfect one, pulled the threads and away we went! Both in the stitching and in the actually going away sense.
The pattern is is Capybara Tea Time by the wonderful NeedleLotDesign (seriously, I am slightly obsessed with her pattern style...her animals are GORGEOUS and I want to stitch them all!) or, as I like to call it, the Cupybara. Because it's a capybara in a cup!
I'm stitching this on 32ct Fireside Embers by Jodry Designs (which was a limited edition Christmas fabric some years ago but is an almost perfect match to the model and a really nice colour for this I think). And here is ten hours worth of stitching which is more than 30% of the pattern already, these are not very big!
Very fun to stitch and I love how the shading is turning out with just a hand full of different shades of brown. I'm sure I'll get back to this one soon, I was enjoying stitching this so much!
