After learning about California sea lions being sentenced to death for eating salmon in Oregon and Washington, one crafty group of local kids decided they weren’t going to take the news lying down. In the past two weeks, Ms. Angela Casey’s third grade class at Lafayette Elementary School has put together a delightful, crayon-based political campaign that has managed to catch the attention of animal rights activists and state legislators alike.
Ms. Casey, who happened to see a Facebook post about the sea lion slaughters while planning a marine environment curriculum for her class, decided the story would make a good lesson about how one species can interfere with another. After doing some research that sounds way more involved than anything we ever had to do in third grade, Ms. Casey’s class concluded that the sea lion killings were unjust, especially in light of other factors that pose a much bigger threat to the salmon population.
I’m going to be taking a short break from working on this to do another cross stitch for my fiance. I’m kinda glad because doing row after row in the same red colour it getting a little daunting. I can’t wait to finish it though!
sometimes you wake up and cross-stitch a heart out of your boyfriend’s beard hair. sometimes you don’t.

This is what I’ve gotten done of The Monkees logo so far. I’d probably have more done if I hadn’t been scheduled for some of the craziest hours the past couple of weeks. I’m off tonight and the plan is to hopefully get the second “e” done while watching back to back episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. A weird little tid-bit: The completed “k” and “e” are stitched with exactly one skein of floss.
Also, thanks to my lovely cross stitch companion/model Lunette aka Lady Tiddlesworth. I don’t know what it is, but she automatically goes into nap mode when I start doing so cross stitch, while Fernando roams around the house.
