Pic of the Day 06/01/2011

I am doing the picture of the day project like last year, when I did it on facebook. Since not all my online friends are on facebook, I decided to also upload those photos this year to shuttercal. The photo will be automatically changed every day after I upload a new one, so you can come back and look

My poor baby bunny :( 21/01/2012

Snoopy was very healthy until he turned 5 last September. He only went about 3 times to the vet in 5 years. Then he had a wet nose slit and was brought to the vet. Turned out he had an tooth infection. After a round of Baytril, he was doing better … until November, when he had a lump (abscess) on his cheek. They squeezed it out and he seemed to be fine. The lump grew very big by early December, so he had to have surgery to remove it. He recovered very well and was his bouncy self in no time ….

until last week, when his lump grew over night twice the size. He had his tooth removed on Monday. It turned out of root of the tooth and part of his jaw bone was already infected and would not have gotten better if the tooth stayed. He is not recovering very well from this surgery. His cheek is swollen and he needs to go back to the vet this Monday. My poor little guy. I am heartbroken about his troubles I barely slept all night worrying

Here is a photo of my little guy flopped in his tent yesterday to take a little nap:

WIP – Woody 08/01/2012

I am working on a KAL from Laris Designs. The first glove is done, turned out lovely and fits perfectly

Finished Japanese Box 07/01/2012

After five years of stitching and four days of finishing, I am finally all done with my Japanese Box. Here is a pic of the beauty:

I am not 100% satisfied with the finishing. I did not do as good of a job as I could have done. It still turned out fairly well.

      

Now what should I do next …

Snoopy and the carrot peels … 06/01/2012

I made Thai Beef in the crockpot together with some carrots. The peels and ends of the carrots were given to the Carrot Killer (aka Snoopy, the bunny) to finish off and he hoppily took care of them …

See how he has one piece of the carrot between his front paws? He wants to make sure no one is taking it from him …

Day 1 of finishing the Japanese Box 03/01/2012

So, all stitching on the box is done. Now I am working on the finishing of it.

I gathered all the stitching and finishing supplies to spread them on the floor. Look how Snoopy is trying to help by sitting on everything and chewing on the cardboard that I need – thanks Snoops.

Here is the progress after day 1 of the finishing. I am not pleased with how the connection between the two sides turned out, but will be able to improve it when I sew through it a second time. Other than that it’s really great

WIP – Japanese Box 30/12/2011

I finished all the cross stitching and back stitching on the lid. Only the beading left

Christmas SWAP 29/12/2011

Look what Sarah from the US sent me as my Christmas SWAP items Aren’t they all wonderful? There is a bunny pattern, ornaments, floss bobbins, floss, a bookmark kit, a seam ripper, soap and so much more. It’s all so pretty and I am very happy

Do you see Snoopy in the background? I thought this was hilariously funny.

WIP – Japanese Box XS done :) 27/12/2011

Yay, I finished all the cross stitching on my box lid. Now off to the back stitching and beading. Maybe it will be done afterall …

WIP – Japanese Box Lid 26/12/2011

Here is another pic of the lid.

I made quite some progress. The fish are one over one. I need to take off my glasses in order to be able to see anything at all. The result is well worth it though
