I am seeing some sprouting of my wild flower seeds - I'm so excited - it doesn't take much to do that though. I'm still working on getting all the weeds pulled. Actually, I do have to pat myself on the back, or keep rubbing the backs of my aching legs for that, because the backyard is really looking pretty "spiffy" if I do say so myself.
However, in reference to the title of this blog post -- we have a cricket that is making my husband and I crazy! We have tried to find out where it is and think it is on the patio along the edge of the house. It just started making noise on Saturday evening and it just doesn't let up. I've been surfing the net trying to find out how to locate and get rid of them. I got a few ideas I'm gonna try this week but geez what a racket that thing makes! I'm thinking it must be two feet long or something. I'd much prefer it turn out to be Jiminy Cricket. I keep waiting to see him go dancing across the patio with a top hat and carrying a cane. That kind of cricket I could live with.
I do have a stitching finish to brag about this week. I finished the stitching on my Xmas Stocking design from Donna Kooler. I have the perfect red fabric to finish it with (a bargain from Goodwill). This was actually fun to stitch but it was the backstitching that was the most tedious part of the project but without it there would be no detail at all.
Have a good week and get some stitching time in!
It looks amazing!!!
