yacobaThere be good news and bad news in this update.
The Good
- I'm stitching again! After nearly half a year of not being able to touch my work I'm back at it!
- I've been focusing on a pattern of my cousin James. Here's where I was back in July and one from today.
- Yesterday my uncle and his wife [yes she is technically my aunt, but seeing's how I went to high school with her ^_~ I don't call her aunt] had a beautiful baby girl! Named Ellie!
The Bad
- Yesterday I had to put down my cat Chaz. He was a rescue we took in when he was already 9 years old with a hole in his heart. He lived with us until he was 14 and I think had a wonderful life! Despite his age and medical problems, he'd still race around the house like a total idiot from time to time. But the last few days he'd been having trouble with his mouth, I think his teeth were beginning to rot and it was causing him a lot of pain. Due to his heart problem he couldn't be put under to have any dental work done so there really wasn't any other option.
The Makes me Feel a Little Better
- Shuffles suggested that I cross stitch a picture of Chaz when I felt up to it and that idea alone made me feel a whole lot better. I immediately started looking for a good picture and designed this pattern.
I'll be stitching this on black fabric which makes for a very dramatic look, just like how I did Romeo for my mum. I really can't wait for the supplies to arrive so I can get started! It'll be the first project that I've ever done for myself.
