*Chirp*

It's 4:00 AM and DH has been up for hours trying to track down intermittent bursts of continuous chirping. I've been up on and off all night but haven't been playing hide and seek as my mobility is giving me grief.

This happened last week and we never got to the bottom of it then either. Our alarms are on a circuit which adds to the fun. The sound seems to be echoing and whenever you think you're close, it stops.

At least it only woke up one of the kids. The other two can sleep through anything.

I finally mounted all my stamps. It took a couple of days but it's done. Mounting stamps is right up there with cleaning bathrooms in my book which is why I usually don't bother. But, I like the additional cushion so I did it. And now I won't have to again for a long, long time. Yay.

This was my first time using a template (Bazzil) for stitching instead of free-hand. To be honest, I don't really like it. While it's a bit faster to make the holes, they aren't near as close together and neat as I would do myself. Next time I'll use the template for the shape and then make an extra hole between each of theirs.
