Life Updates!

I've been absent again.

It has been one of those time periods where a whole bunch is going on, a whole bunch needs to be done and my stitchy bug takes a break.

So I spent most of my time this month sleeping/attempting to sleep after having run around shopping, doing other crafty stuff, fighting with my ISP to get my internet fixed (never mess with a gamer's internet!) and trying to work out what to do with myself.

So I saw a career advisor with my local TAFE to chat about options for wheelchair friendly professions. I already had a few ideas in mind, some of which I doubted would be wheelchair friendly.
So I came to the decision and I will be returning to TAFE to study full time.
I will be starting off with a Certificate 4 in Youth Work and then I'm going to see if I can do a dual discipline in both Mental Health and in Disabilities. 
I really hope I can get both at the same time. 
It will be a bigger workload, yes, but overall will be quicker than doing 2 different courses after each other.

So have some photos, and I will be filming some cross stitch updates in the next few days :)


Check out the hot chocolate porn!



Made my first ever pulled Pork. It didn't last long.


Strawberries and Cream cupcakes before icing, and choc mint muffins :)
Didn't get pictures of the sugar cookies before they went. I made them in bat and cat shapes :p


That's an Air Con, not a bed. 


One of our awesome Flosstubers was in hospital for a little while, so I surprised her with a card :)
I bought a card making kit off ebay, put all the pieces together, found a kitty picture which I printed out and then coloured with watercolour paints :)





And this little butterfly pendant was the little gift I sent along as well :)
I stitched it with 2 Fiberlicious hand dyed flosses, and one Dinky Dyes hand dyed floss :)




I spent most of the month stitching on my St Patricks day SAL. I didn't finish it. 
But I'm not going to rant about it here, I'm going to wait for the video :p


Made a friend of mine a Star Trek Communication Badge :)
Made the little pattern based off an image off Google.
I should mention I know nothing of Star Trek. At all :p
The pattern for this is on my Etsy as well


Andrew getting his hacksaw on at Bunnings :)


And what I made with those hacksawed pieces of PVC pipe :)


Still learning to two hand stitch, but it's so good to not have to hold it :p
I'm very quickly becoming a Qsnap convert!


Tie Dying some shirts. Some turned out, others didn't. And then my washing machine screwed them all up.


Pizza scrolls and some trial Nutella and Coconut scrolls :)


Stitching!


Little lacewing I rescued from my room before Illidan got ahold of him.

Little world of baking

I like food, I really do.
And it's quite a new thing.
I used to have a really bad relationship with food, and that's something I've been improving on.
People can be cruel when it comes to fat people and food. 
As part of my recovery from my eating disorder, and to repair my relationship with food I started cooking. I started cooking my dinners and desserts. I bake savoury and sweet items.
And here are some pictures :)
I will get some recipes going soon as well :)
