Black Cat Decosquare

This is a decosquare I made for a groupswap. The cat is from a clearstamp-set I bought from a friend. And I cannot remember who made it, but I just love the set! The tail is made of furry black yarn that I sewed onto the square. The black round things on the side are brads that are covered with black fabric. Finally I put a needle through the paper and made it look like a frame. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, and the receiver liked it as well, thank goodness!

Well, vacation is long gone now. I've been working for 3 weeks again and it feels good. Hectic though, I still try to figure out how on earth I will make the time to slow down so I will have time for crafts, reading books and do all the things I want to do!

This piece above is an "Africa" deco. I thought it was fun to make it green, most decos with this theme are brown or beige. But I know there are some places in Africa that are green as well, so... here it is! The picture is from the internet, I googled "African beauty" and there she was! And she is really beautiful, don't you think?

I know I have been quiet for a while. The reason is that I haven't been feeling too well. A little more than a month ago, my car broke down and without it, it takes soooo much longer to get to work, because I have to rely completely on public transportations. And considering I was sick for 5 years and have been back to work now only 2 months... Well, it's taken a huge toll on my health, I can tell. Last Thursday evening, I came down with a huge anxiety-attack and couldn't do anything but lie flat on my back until Friday at noon. I tell ya, it was NO FUN calling work and tell them that I couldn't get out of bed because I had an anxiety-attack!

Well, now we are car-hunting and hopefully I will have a "new" car by Tuesday night, and then life will be much easier. I'll let you know!
