Heart-felt Moments


So I've finished the Heart cross-stitch, and done another. Tomorrow or the day after I will look more closely at fusing these pieces together, and then look at how I might make a keychain piece out of them. I've cheated in these by not filling the white sections and just leaving the blank white aida cloth underneath, and by trying out half stitching the red-fill on the heart. Although lazy, I think it does still look kinda cool. Also saves time! 2nd Heart was done in about an hour.

Red used is 349.

Approaching

It's nearly the end of the long weekend and the kids should be arriving back anytime now. I'm working tonight - hopefully they're all worn out from the effort of getting back to school. I suspect they'll actually be buzzed up and hypo. Time will tell.

I'm doing well. Eating lots of celery and carrots due to an accidental double up when my housemate and I went food shopping separately.

Still trying to get more sport - squash specifically - into my life. Played on Friday and Today. Today was against my 50+ year old mother so it was a little one sided, but she could still get some good shots off.

Rewatching some Evangelion, same old hate/love with it.

Looking at doing more cross-stitching/crafting. Would like to learn how to stitch wool/yarn etc, but I don't know anyone to teach me. But then, there's always the faithful internet :)
