Good news and bad news

First the good news!





I am almost complete with my miribilia fairy! Just that darn krienik thread thats slowing me down some. The beads go so fast so the ones near her feet and in front of her will be finished fast after the krienik is completed. Here she is:

I had realized after I had outlined her arms and face that back when I outlined her legs I had done so in the wrong color! So I had to frog that and redo it. I'm not really fond of how this krienik is laying down either.

I also made it to the post office today with the intent of buying some postcards to send off to everyone who sent me their snail mail but the bookmark which sells the postcards is closed on mondays! I had no idea, so Wednesday since I have to go to the commissary anyways, I will then send off the postcards. So if you haven't sent me your snail mail and you want in then pls send it to me by Tuesday. My email is on my profile her on my blog.

Now the bad news:

Yesterday morning my dear Otis ran away! He was an indoor/outdoor cat when we adopted him and I guess it drove him nuts to beinside all the time and so he escaped when my DH was coming in and out the door. We plan to put up posters to see if anyone will be kind enough to return him if he is found. But cats are so hard to come by here that I doubt he will be returned. DH promised to find me another furbaby. One that is just an indoor cat only. Its still sad and I am a bit depressed right now.

Stitchy stuff, Otis, DH

Okay first I got a new kitty! His name is Otis, yes he had a brother named Milo too. But Milo was adopted by a neighbor. So we drove 2 hours to a little town outside of Stuttgart, and collected him and a few toys and home we went, you would think 2 hours back right? Wrong! There was a road block from all the rain some deisel on the autoban smacked someone so we diverted to back roads which takes us normally 3 hours home well, 20 minutes from home another road block! We couldn't see what it was but there were tons of ambulances and police so we diverted again finally making it home. It took us 4 hours to get home. My wonderful DH drove all this after getting off of a 24 hour shift and only getting to sleep about 2 hours before we left to go get Otis. I was feeding him candy and caffiene the whole time and we had on some upbeat music. I fed my DH not Otis. Anyway here's a pic of him when we got home:

He looks exactly like my moms cat Jewel except she's fat and overweight.

And heres what I managed to get xs'd while I waited to leave but then got a migraine so I couldn't stitch while we drove there, it was gone when we left from getting Otis but then he sat in my lap the whole way home so still no stitching! But I'll complete this today. Its the second part of the TOL sampler:

And lastly, my DH got new pics done so I had to show him off:
