Embroidery, Zombies, and GOMA!

I promise this post will be more than just more mini embroideries.  I just love them so much.  They're so much fun!  Quick and easy and so cute.  I dunno what I'm gonna do with all of them, though!!

I got in my books, the Zombie Cross Stitch and the Nautical Pattern ones, yesterday.  I scanned in all the zombie patterns, because they're TINY!!  So, I scanned them in and increased the size by 150%, and it's much better.  The patterns, I guess are for smaller cross stitch pieces, because the specifications for finished pieces are like 2 inches by 3 or in that area, and the largest is like 4 inches by 7.  I picked out one to do and started last night.  I did lose my place in one area, and it's a little off, but you can't even tell, so I didn't bother going back and redoing it.  It's a zombie, for cryin out loud! 

 
Anyhow, the patterns, for a beginner, anyway, are a tad more difficult to follow than the ones in the Subversive Cross Stitch book.  But, once you get going, it's okay.  I think it's going to turn out really well, and, of course, you can count on pictures when it's done!!  I haven't tried any of the patterns in the Nautical book, but they look pretty easy, although, some look VERY involved.  I always love a challenge, though. 

I'm off today, and I was watching Cats 101 on Animal Planet, when they featured this ADORABLE blog!!

A girl named Sachie is responsible for this cavalcade of ridiculous cute.  She's just as cute as Goma!  She moved here from Japan, and wanted a cat to keep her company, so she found Goma, and fell in love with Goma.  She's a woman OBSESSED!  And her blog is just the cutest thing ever.  You should totally check it out.  And you can become a fan on Facebook- Friends of Goma.  

Okay, I'm off to clean the bathroom, finish laundry, and go try a new Chinese place for lunch that Allen's work does labels for.  Byeeee!
