Thermalgal’s Temperate Mumblings

Rhino -land

I finished up all the little tiny x’s on the Rhinos last night at our weekly stitch-fest. I just have backstitching, eyes, and the name left for them. So, great progress for me. I’m getting into the animal groove. I just can’t seem to get into the backstitching over 1 groove. One more set of animals to reach my goal of two sets per week. I also named some of the animals. I haven’t told Marilyn this yet, but I named the koalas after her. So, they are Marilyn and David. I also named the turtles after my DH and me… except I’m going to relabel them terrapins since my SIL, her husband, my DH, and I all went to UMd. I also named the hedgehogs and polar bears after friends. I still have lots left. I think I’m going to name the cats after my sister and her husband. So, if you and your SO want to be called something, let me know. Since this is Noah’s ark, I’m going to restrict the animal names to mating pairs.I’m not anticapting much stitching time this weekend. We are planning on going to my SIL’s house on Sunday since that is our nephew’s birthday. He is turning the big 3. So, on Saturday, we are going toy shopping to get him a present. Right now I’m thinking a plane with wheels. My MIL has the toys still around from my DH and SIL were kids and little nephew likes to play with DH’s old plane. So, I’m thinking about replacing it with a newer version.
