I’ve had a rough day today, I’m having some stomach problems, which has lead to headache/dizziness/blood sugar issues. I’m going to bed now and hopefully I’ll wake up feeling better tomorrow. I did a little embroidery today but not as much as I’d like, the flower petals are kicking my booty - I can’t seem to get them to look how I want but instead of ripping out and redoing (for lack of thread) I’m going to leave it and just chuck it up to a learning experience. I also looked at a lot of stitching sites today, I downloaded many pictures from all these sites. Artecy is the only one that is actually a paid for site, I paid for my membership years ago and I don’t regret it a bit. I wait every couple weeks for her patterns.

So, today was my day off, then back to work for two days, then another day off, but Sly’s not off on Friday so we have to get all of our errands done today. We went to Wal-Mart today… twice (forgot rabbit food the first time, went back the second time and they didn’t have it anyway. :|) Did laundry, including washing our bed sheets and bleaching the towels (thrilling, I know). But in other news we looked at some wedding invitation/favor stuff and priced some stuff, I really need to get planning.
I went and bought an embroidery kit from Michael’s, it’s a Learn a Craft kit from Dimensions. It’s pretty cool, but I’m not too good at it. Practice makes perfect, right? It seems like it will be very easy to carry around and work on in Doc’s offices or work (which happens to be a doc’s office…).
I also formatted my computer and reinstalled Windows Vista, I had Windows 7 installed but it’s still a little too buggy for me. It never really crashed but the desktop would load wrong and I’d have to shut it all down and load it back up. It had some other issues, really none of them were major, but all together it was just getting on my nerves too much. I’m sure it will be a great when it’s released but I’m not enthusiastic enough to work through the bugs.
Anyway, it’s about time I went and got the sheets outa the dryer and got to bed.
So, I want to learn embroidery. I know how to cross stitch and I’ve flirted with embroidery before but I’d really like to learn. I’m not sure what I’ll actually use it for, but it seems like a good thing to know. I’ve been looking all over at different sites and what not and I found this really awesome site with some tutorial videos. The blog Feeling Stitchy posts some awesome stuff too - she updates nearly every day!
Here’s my May square from Craftster too -
