A cat in a Santa hat getting a kiss from a mouse under the mistletoe: a greetings card to stitch and send, designed by Margaret Sherry. The piece is small and works up in a few evenings, so it suits anyone who wants to try counted cross stitch without committing to a large project.
The finished stitching is mounted in the triple-fold card supplied with the kit, which folds over at the back and hides the raw edges of the fabric; all you need to add are scissors and, if you like, a small hoop. Alongside the cross stitch there is back stitch for the outlines, a few French knots and the beads included.
