Yay projects!

While I'm still working on that pillowcase gift, I'm also trying a bit of a cross stitch project!
I don't want to do the entire poem, but the first two lines sounded like a good beginning, and I laid out seven different bottle designs, including a small one and a round one (the only two described in the book). I'm having quite a bit of fun! I like the nice neat font, rather than stitching out full letters. I need to find more fonts like this, where it's a single line, but in different styles.
I did lose my temper today (why does the older set insist on bitching about smart phones and the like?), but I didn't insult anyone directly, mostly ranted and was a bit rude. Because my god. *headdesk* I lack the patience to deal with it some days, and today was one of those days. Oops. Will I apologise? Probably not, no.
In other news, I've done the laundry and hung it to dry indoors, and the little bug zapper we picked up on Tuesday seems to be working! We keep it by the computers while we're home, and in the bedroom at night. I haven't been bitten by any new mosquitoes, which is fantastic. (Although I'm still so terribly itchy from the first few days of the season. So irrititable.)
I'm trying to think of a nice gift to stitch up for one of my friends online, but I don't want to give the game away, so to speak, my asking. She gave me some lovely colour-varying thread from her work and I want to do something nice for her. (I'd do her blog name but she changes it frequently. Boo.)
Unsure if tonight will be another disc of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, or if the hubby would rather play WoW. Depends on how tired he is from work. :) Speaking of, he's home!!! Off to greet him with a kiss ♥
