On a roll again

I am so on a roll, I remembered to finish my bird, do WiSP day AND, well, actually that's it.

And I did it, the bird is done! 

I found this too, it is almost finished and have been for quite some time, thing is, all the threads are missing, and since the threads came with the magazine I felt lost. But then I saw that they had helpfully added a DMC thread-key, so I decided to look through my stash. Which is small so I did not have high hopes. One side was about 90 % done and the other about 50%, I could not just choose some colours because it is mirrored so both sides have to match... I contemplated that for a while and felt like I was lost at sea when I finally took the dive and looked through the stash. And lo and behold, I had ALL of the pinks! :O Colour me surprised... And most of the greens too, the only green I did not have was the sea green one used on the gate. And I am buying that, since I like to use the colours I buy and not just stash them I am going to multitask and incorporate them in secret project number 2. 

And, I have done some more on my WiSP, I am going to have to take a break on this while I buy some floss. Maybe not a big break, maybe I can do some backstitching? I have already decided not to do the background on this because I feel like the coloured fabric is enough:)

On another note, I am rewatching glee, and boyfriend came home, he for some reason got the vibe that I needed to be serenaded to and chose to sing. " Oh my darling Clementine" but since poor boyfriend knows absoultely no lyrics what he did end up singing to me was: Oh, my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling never mind..... Not quite the romantic song I had in mind. He made up for it later by doing "Magic carpet ride" with me on singstar. I pwned him.

Here is bunny and boyfriend having some quality time together. Free range bunnies are awesome! -"What did you do yesterday?"

- "I tried to eat an apple and had a bunny on my shoulder".

Best conversation ever.

It is Friday again I reckon

And I did not forget! Hah! Here is a completely meaningless and boring post about absolutely nothing. But atleast I did not forget.

As you probably know by now, I work a little now. And what I do is paint furniture, I like painting, it is calming. And look at my free manicure.

I was getting a bit tired of all the pink, so I painted a chair this colour and it is a great colour indeed, works wonders with the pink.

I have a really crocked pinky. Looks a bit silly doesn't it?

But today I was home because I was not feeling very well, so I started on a freebie. From WOCS 202. Unfortunately a colour was missing and I did not have a replacement, so I choose two purples from my stash. I love the cute hangar that came with it.

This is how far Fred has gotten. Think I can finish the bird tomorrow?

 So, this is Henry, can you see the beading I've started?

 I can show you some closeups. Not the right colour, but close enough:P

 I did not bead her dress. Or the flap thing on her hat. I decided they looked good without so I left it. Less work for me the better. And I really do think beading that part of her dress would make things look crowded and I did not want that. I did not want to do french knots either so I'll just make do.

This is the replacement colours I chose. Do you know another cross stitch I am making that is using these colours? Yes, it is secret project number two, which I know is taking a lot of time, but I am down to doing the boring colours and the stupid tangling glitter floss so it takes time.... And then there will be backstitch. Will I finish that in time using only WiSP Sundays? I wonder...

Speaking of backstitch, that is all that is left on this piece so it is time to go to bed and hope I feel like being bored enough to do them tomorrow. Would have been nice with another finish though.....

Bon Voyage and then some.

Chansu ga matteru

Your chance is waiting. 

Oh yeah. (You'll understand if you read the whole post;) 

 My beads have arrived and I have started beading, the beads are not really the right colours, instead of gold I got antic gold which looks more like mustard yellow, but it works and I have no intentions to buy more.... The white looks more clear and the red looks like bright christmas red and not the red from the picture. But I am a bit fed up with all the beads and knots and all, and just want to GET ON WITH IT! Hehe. And I realized that I am not done with the grey on Henry after all even if I have broadcasted it everywhere, because his arm is grey too. DUH. And I am not done with his reds either, because, well, his clothes in the left corner is not done yet. What was I thinking about when I said I was done with both the red and the grey on Henry but still knew he was not done. You can see that with half an eye that he is lopsided and not done.... I must have been thinking he was done everywhere except his head. And I do know his head does not utilize red or grey, that is my story and I am sticking to it!

Another book down too. This was a goal I kept, so I am feeling happy and accomplished. (never mind that I did all that book sewing on Sunday and completely forgot WiSP Sunday AGAIN). We'll just pretend that didn't happen and continue to bask in the glory of a job well done.

I have started on the bird, which is this weeks goal. 

Tomorrow is a holiday so I will spend the entire day in stitching. Yay.

 We found some wild yummies for bunny today, and she was very thankful. First dandelion of the year.

I like living in a small town, no one is around looking weirdly at me when I find some edibles for the bunny in a ditch and precariously hold my shopping bags (this always happen when my arms are full anyway) and bend over in a ditch.... I must look very idiotic, but I don't know because no one has been around to tell me. (except boyfriend but he does not dare to tell me I look ridiculous.) But free treats for bunny is always nice, too bad we found them after buying herbs for her...

Almost home today, MIL was standing at the mailbox carrying free cake. YAY! Wish she had come before we went to the store, would have saved us buying cake;)

One of two Hello!Project song on my mind: I love this. This is Zoku Biyuden, not that I don't love old Biyuden, but since this  video had "Only you" AND "koisuru ANGEL heart" I had to choose this.

Ah, I wish I could go to France this summer and see the girls in C-ute. (yup, that is the groups name, not to be confused with this group that is singing, because as stated that is  Zoku (new)Biyuden, with two Morning Musume members (one of them has already graduated and not the one who is tone-deaf :X) and one Berryz koubou member.

I'll show you a proper music video, from morning musume. I hated the song when it was released, but I find myself singing to it daily... So I had to include it. Can you find the two members from the song above?
