I had a nice productive weekend. We woke up at a decent hour Saturday, and I was able to finish up my "Decorative Gourd" pattern from Subversive Cross Stitch! My mom decorates really cute for each holiday, and I thought she would like this. The original pattern says "It's decorative gourd season, motherfuckers!" but this is the one I was talking about that I wanted to make for Mom, and wanted to clean up. I thrifted the frame from Goodwill and I think it's perfect! It only cost me $3! I used the DMC Charles Craft printed aida in the orange color.
For this one, I wanted to go square or round, and there weren't any frames that fit, so I did have to buy this from the evil Christians at Hobby Lobby. I wish the picture showed the colors better, but this was the best I could do without my stupid reflection in the glass. It came out nicely and now I have to figure out where to display my Christmas beauties this year! I have a lot of decorations and not a lot of space anymore, so I'm thinking maybe I'll just switch out stuff each year and rather than hang my Creepy Christmas set up (since I can't hang things easily), I'll put these up somewhere this year and then figure out a way to display the others next year.
We had lunch at Applebees. I got a drink called the Slay All Day Rita. What a silly name for a drink... it was really good!
Maybe it was due to the day drinking but I was absolutely KNACKERED when we got home from running our errands... but I made myself get up and do some tidying around the house. I started not feeling great, like I had a horrible headache that evening and I felt a lot of pressure on my sinuses, so I just spent all day Sunday resting (Dr. Allen's orders) and watching TV. I started on my Bigfoot cross stitch but didn't really get very far. But today, I do feel a lot better and I'll probably work on it a bit tonight.
Right now, they have all the Christmas stuff out and it makes me excited! They have lots of candles out at WalMart and I know, it's an evil, evil, company, but some of us can't afford $25 candles elsewhere, okay??? Unless they are on sale... anyway, they have the Goose Creek candles there! They make ones that smell like Little Debbie snacks and they have a Harry Potter range as well. The only ones I liked where Hufflepulff and Slytherin. I wanted to get a Hufflepuff for me and a Ravenclaw for Allen but the Ravenclaw one doesn't smell that great. So I settled for some Hufflepuff wax melts and they smell DIVINE.
