The minute I set eyes on him I fell in love with this stunning image of a Snow Leopard. His piercing melancholy eyes spoke to my soul and reminded me of my faithful feline companion who had recently passed away. Unsurprisingly, I named this picture 'Mici' in his honour.

Considerably more challenging than Collecting Shells, this counted cross stitch took nine months to complete.

Whilst I love the antique silver frame, I have never been thrilled with the mauve board. It simply does nothing to compliment the thread colours - but it was the best of a bad selection at the time I was having it framed. :o/

Perhaps one day I'll get it changed...

In the meantime, he continues to take pride of place in my entrance way.
