I've been on a bit of a creative splurge. After the loss of my beloved best friend of 12yrs Venus, I went into a bit of a black hole. I didn't even listen to the radio. But in the last week, slowly, I've been returning to the norm and am better coming to terms with the loss.My Isa Brown chicken that I raised from a wee one, has started laying beautiful big brown eggs once a day, so inspired by this, I decided to make an egg cross stitch with a bit of a country theme. It was a ball to make, as I don't often work with boarders or country themes. I've been more into the motocross designs as of late.
I am now 30 weeks pregnant, just 10 weeks to go! I finish work in just under five weeks, and I realised, that cross stitch is a cheap way to curb the bordom of being at home! You can buy lovely designs from around $4.00US and threads are only about $1.00each, so you slowly build up a collection of threads and aida.
I'm still stitching slowly, my design for my fiance Sean, work haulted on it when I lost Venus as I was stitching it at the time he was lost. But I can feel the urges coming back so no doubt I'll be stitching away again soon :)
I've still been working on my lost and found group. I asked for volunteers to help maintain it, but I didn't get any hands up which left me feeling a bit crest fallen. I've been having trouble with a neighbour at the moment. They have a rat infestation that they won't deal with, they're just letting it go wild (much like the yard and her 4 dogs), so the rats come across from under the fence every night to try and eat my birds and so far, these rats have been sucessful. As quick as I kill the rats, more come over her fence, and unless she deals with the problem too, I'll forever spend hundreds of dollars killing her rat problem and having my birds eaten alive! I'm not happy at all with this.
Anyway, feeling a bit tired, so off for a nanna nap! Much love!
