Heart #39

Here is the third under sea themed heart. Lots of embroidery. It is a very textured piece, busy, busy, busy....maybe a bit too busy? I have done some of my very rudimentary needle tatting for this heart.

My family have taken off for a few days at the bach, leaving me in blissful peace during the days...and absolute terrified paranoia at night!! I hate being in the house by myself. I am fine until I go to bed, then I just get myself so worked up, about every little noise, and usually 'not noise'...meaning it's all in my head! I know it is all in my head. I used to live alone in a little cottage with 5 cats and I just left the back door open at night for the cats, and later the flatty who lived in the sleepout, but now I have this place locked up like a fortress, no one is getting in here, not covertly anyway. In about three more nights I'll be at the 'Home Alone" stage, rigging up booby traps and the like. I think it is since having the kids. I'm just all round a bit unhinged, and this is just another manifestation of it.
Anyway, you can probably expect a few late night posts, and obscure ramblings from me for the rest of the week, while I sit here trying to keep my eyes open. I'm not sure why staying up until I fall asleep in my chair makes me feel all the more better prepared to deal with intruders, but as I said, the minds a bit screwy....
