Nessie sighting!

When my brother was still small, he had three books he absolutely loved. I can't even say how often we had to look at them. They were about UFOs, ghosts, and monsters - and the last one was his #1 favorite.
That was fine by me because I have been just as fascinated myself since childhood.

My favorite cryptid is Nessie. I love the thought of her swimming and hiding in that beautiful loch and I wanted to see Loch Ness so badly for so long.
In 2009, I finally got the chance. The ex and I went to Edinburgh and it was clear one day would be reserved for a day trip to Loch Ness. It was gorgeous and it still makes me smile to think of that day, but also a little sad because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get back there again. If you want to read a little about the day and see pictures, you are welcome to check out "Edinburgh Day 2".

I'm sure we would have seen Nessie that day if there hadn't been so many people! ;-)

Well, if Nessie didn't want to come to me then, I just had to make her come to me now. Embroidery to the rescue! :-D
See, she does exist!

P.S. Never embroider if you are upset, though. Here in Germany we also say "einen dicken Hals kriegen" (get a fat neck) if we are upset and I think that has translated to Nessie just a tad ;-)
