TNT: Nothing to See Here

 

There was no way that I was going to be able to sit and hunch over my stitching this week. It took me until Saturday not to be in tears just sitting. What I did do was buy something. I said I was looking for another vintage needlepoint kit and I found one I liked on eBay. 

When I first started Funky Flowers I hated that old, scratchy wool yarn but now I like working with it. It's wonky so I don't have to fret about being too perfect with my stitches because they are anything but perfect. 

I did accomplish one important thing this week. I had to de-hair my work stands. One holds my cross stitch projects and one holds my knitting. For some reason the cats use them to rub against so they are usually covered in hair. This week I cleaned them and then rubbed them down with my non-greasy Vick's back rub hoping the strong smell will keep the kitties away. I did see one of the darlings go up and take a sniff, make a face and walk away. I'm taking that as a good sign.
