Well, it's on! We (I, actually) have started packing! I sort of like packing, and I sort of hate it. I have also started organizing. So we have all these boxes in a storage shed, and in a bedroom here, and they are just numbered, and not really labeled, because we did a system where we had a list of what is in which box and the boxes had corresponding numbers. So I am going through each box and listing what's in it, and putting where it's gonna go in the house, because we are hiring movers to put the boxes where they need to go. I am kind of enjoying that bit.
We don't have anything scheduled quite yet because we don't know when they will be done with all repairs but I'm figuring we will be moving between mid-September and mid-October. That's a great time because it's hot as fuck here but it coincides with Autumn and they are actually going to be cooling down that time of year!
I have still managed to get some stitching in!
We LOVE The Mighty Boosh! I can't find many cross stitch patterns that I like, though. There are tons of Old Gregg ones but they are super elaborate and I get bored with very stitch-heavy projects. I did find this one by ShortAndLoudShop on Etsy.
This is a Stundew by Noctiflora Designs. I have several of her patterns but this is the first one I've actually done. I dyed this aida myself :) I stitched it up pretty quickly and it's just the cutest!
I have been plugging away at this Cryptids from the Cryptid Stitch Along by The Witchy Stitcher. I know these are meant to be on one huge piece of Aida but I just can't do that with my neurospicy brain, so I always do stitch-alongs separately and then one day I can create a collage of all of them! This is The Death Worm. The Death Worm is a Mongolian cryptid "said to inhabit the Gobi Desert. It is a cryptid, or mythological animal, described by locals as a red, sausage-shaped creature, up to six feet long, that kills by spitting acid and shooting electricity. Despite numerous attempts, its existence has never been scientifically proven, with some suggesting it could be a misidentified known animal, such as a sand boa, or simply a product of folklore and exaggeration."
