Jan. 4th, 2007 03:21 pmOk... feeling a bit better. Been busy workin' and enjoying christmas with various family members and whatnot, and I think I've finally stopped fuming about what happened to me during the last post.
I had been working on a cross stitched image of a lighthouse and used metallic (shipped directly from Satan himself cuz it's so freaking hard to sew) thread to make the waves that were crashing up against it. It was an 11x14 picture and it was on 14 count aida (14 stitches per inch). I had been working on it for over two months and had not mentioned it, because it was my christmas present for my husband. I found the chart for it at a local stitchery and then put my husband's favorite hymn on it. I had just finished it, and left it out on my desk so that it wouldn't get creased in my drawers.
I brought in the matting board and frame only to discover that someone had stolen it off my desk. not only that, but they took all of my neighbor's candy that she had sitting in a drawer.
Management hasn't done jack to remedy this situation and it's really making me question whether I want to continue working here. The theft is getting worse and they keep turning a blind eye. I now have to lock up EVERYTHING that is on my desk. I've become quite paranoid about it.
Luckily my Mother in law heard about this, and for Christmas gave me a $30 gift card to my favorite cross-stitch store. I've bought some new fabric and am working on it for him.
I've also found a new needle love. I've finally learned how to knit and DAMN is it addicting! I've put every other project down to knit. I'm hoping to make a few more scarves, my first one I'll be sending to my mom. she likes to have all of the firsts that I make :P
Anywho, that's what's been going on lately. it's snowing like crazy right now, and everythime I glance out I swear there's another 2-3 inches on the ground.
Hope you all had a good holiday. Now get back to work!
