What am I stitching? Part 5

Did you notice the lack of a post yesterday? That’s because I was busy stitching my little fingers off to prepare for today’s episode of “What am I stitching?

well, okay, I admit this post wans’t the entire reason I spent most of the weekend stitching. The fact that the baby could come any day now may have had something to do with it. For obvious reason’s, I’m hoping this child decides to take a cue from his/her big brother and come two weeks after the due date! In the meantime, let’s get on with the game. Here is last week’s picture:

And here are the guesses:

Linda from Expat eye on Latvia said: “It looks exactly the same except now there’s a hatchet and I’m even more confused”. Just as a reminder, her previous guess was a KFC genetically modified chicken, which would make last week’s image a genetically modified KFC chicken with a hatchet. Interesting.

Polly from A Girl and Her Travels suggested “A sideways racecar with a flaming road?” Brings a whole new meaning to hot wheels 😀

Elaine from I Used to Be Indecisive said “I’m still going for teddy bear, I think, but now I think it might be holding a gold medal on a pink ribbon in its paw. Maybe the teddy has a yellow blanket over its head.”

Katrin from Land of Candycanes came up with “A mix of Donald Duck and a leprechaun?” That leprechaun is still getting plenty if love!

Kay from Where’s my Glass Slipper‘s response was “If you look at it upsidedown it could be a mouse…or an elephant…a mousephant?” I now wish it was a mousephant!

K8 thought it might be some kind of boat, with a grey flag on the back…Either that or a cat in green dungarees climbing a yellow tree.

The Laughing Housewife suggested a baby holding a teddy.

And finally, Tina from Kulturschock said: “A green-headed angel (body as of yet unstitched) holding a bear (head as of yet unstitched) in a head lock.” Poor bear!

As I said, I’ve worked verrrrry hard on my stitching this weekend, so today I have this for you:

And now I must be off… not to do more stitching, but to work overtime. It’s only Monday and I already hate this week!

Just as a reminder… German chocolate is up for grabs for:
1. The first correct guess and
2. My favourite creative guess

So get your answers in now!

In which I become male and my boyfriend is the root of all evil

My internet is going incredibly slow at the moment. I blame all the people searching for information about the end of the world. It’s going to happen on Wednesday apparantly. We’re all going to be sucked into oblivion by a black hole built by Swiss scientists. I always knew you couldn’t trust the Swiss. Nobody can really be that neutral.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you all about my weekend. So…
The karting ended up being sort of fun, although it was exactly as scary as I was expecting. Luckily I didn’t have to stay in for the whole time (60 minutes!). I only spent about 25 minutes in the car and just from that my arms are aching. While everyone else sped around the track like lunatics I chose to go incredibly slowly, never managing to get all the way round in under a minute. The others were in teams of two, taking turns to drive the kart. Jan was in the team that came first (mostly becasue the person he was in a team with had been before and was incredibly fast). I on the other hand was dead last. Good job I’m not at all competetive!

Later we went to Vögelbräu where we played “what am I”, a variation on the old game where everyone has the name of a person stuck to their head and has to find out who they are by asking questions which can be answered with yes or no. Except in this case it wasn’t just people that were stuck on our foreheads, but could be anything. People, things, concepts… the possibilities were endless. At one point I was “male” and Jan had “the root of all evil” stuck to his forehead.

I’m now exhausted and my arms are too tired to type, so I’m off to relax with a nice cup of tea and a book that will allow me to switch of my brain completely. I’m sure I have some crappy chick lit around here somewhere that will do nicely…
