A New Project that I Can't Put Down

I know I've gushed already about the cross-stitch kits by Riolis and their wool/acrylic blend threads that has such fantastic coverage and their big charts that I can actually follow without enlarging it on the copier. 

I started this one last Monday and have been having a ridiculously hard time putting it down to work on other things. 

I'm not even sure why I love it so much. The clock is great, and there's a shelf in the upper right hand corner and I love the details of that cushion the cat is standing on...but the whole thing only has nine colors. That's got to be a personal record of some kind -- I'm usually all about the  full coverage and confetti stitching with an insane number of colors.

There's no name on the kit itself, at least not in English, but Amazon calls it Cat With Clock so I guess I'll call it that. There's also a similarly styled cat with a gramophone, a cat with a telephone, and a cat with a sewing machine.
