Happy New Year! We moved out to Coldspring this weekend. My parents are so fucking amazing, I can't even tell you. They were such a huge help in getting us loaded and moved, and partially unloaded. I hate moving and do not want to do this again. Well, I DO want to do it again because I want to move to CO, but ugghhh not looking forward to it.
We are in the house I grew up in, which is both very cozy and very weird. Allen's office is in my old bedroom. My office is in the laundry/computer room. I am really looking forward to spending all the time with my parents and seeing my sister more often before we move 13 hours away to Colorado.
Anyway, on with the cross stitch. I finished this one last Thursday. It's the last cross stitch I did in our house in Hutto, which makes me a little sad when I think about it, so I won't think about it. This is my latest installment of The Witchy Stitcher's Cryptid Stitch-Along. I must have bought this Stitch-Along two or three years ago. I rarely keep up with them because I just may not be in the mood to stitch a specific thing when they come out. I also have her Supernatural one that I will start on after I get through these. I'm thinking I may do a few of them on one piece of Aida rather than do them all separately. You're meant to do the entire Stitch-Along on one piece of Aida but... I don't like stitching the big frame because one stitch off and you're fucked and I cant' handle that. LOL Anyway, here is the Ahool.
The Ahool is "a flying cryptid, supposedly a giant bat, or by other accounts, a living pterosaur or flying primate. Named for its distinctive call A-hool (other sources render it ahOOOooool), it is said to live in the deepest rainforests of Java. It is described as having a monkey/ape-like head with large dark eyes, large claws on its forearms (approximately the size of an infant), and a body covered in gray fur. Possibly the most intriguing and astounding feature is that it is said to have a wingspan of 3 m (10 ft). This is almost twice as long as the largest (known) bat in the world, the common flying fox."
