The before & after of a cross stitch project I got from a charity shop more than a year ago, and decided to finish. 🐱 I had a good time doing it. ^_^ #CrossStitch #StitchSky

A partially completed cross stitch project: a tabby cat on green fabric, in a square embroidery hoop. Most of the cat's face has been filled in, but the body is absent.

RNLI staff have faced "unacceptable" online & physical abuse since anti-migrant protests. "Deliberate misinformation and a misunderstanding" by thugs hiding behind "balaclava or a keyboard". Solidarity with RNLI volunteers. They do a great job in saving lives, must be respected.
