Almost December?
Where have the days gone? I have no idea. Luckily, I am almost ready for Christmas because the TNNA show is shortly after that! And yay, I just booked my flight for a good price! Remember that clean room I showed pictures of? See that clean white desk in the picture? This is what happens [...]

What I did over Thanksgiving Vacation
The short version: Get out of work, go home, pack, drive drive drive, arrive, sleep. Get up, drive, eat, drive, eat, sleep. Get up, go shopping, catch end of football game, whoop, sleep. Get up, drive, meet for lunch, drive, dinner, sleep. Get up, breakfast, drive, feed cat, eat, sleep. Vacation over. In a little [...]

Ready for the Holidays
Ok, more like I’m ready for a vacation. And I’m lucky in that Thanksgiving doesn’t mean a whole bunch of prep work for me – my MIL will be doing most of the work. I’m hoping to get a bunch of stitching done over the long weekend and try to sketch out some new designs. [...]

Refinishing
Last night, I did get to start on the new project, but only after taking the seams out of my last happy dance and redoing them. This really wasn’t so bad, as everything was turned the right way and I was better able to see how each seam was coming out. Speaking of happy dances, [...]

A Happy Dance!
I finished! I finished that thing I was working on! Yay! Unfortunately, I can’t show it off because it is a surprise. Well, technically I can’t show it off because it hasn’t been published yet. If I did show it, then someone might go running to their LNS and demand the newest CEK design, then [...]

Someone was industrious
Someone or something was industrious overnight. I went out to put some mail in the mailbox and found this: The web is actually between our mailbox and the neighbors and attached to both doors: Luckily the neighbor also had something to mail and was out when I was, so we both carefully opened the mail [...]

Signs of Autumn
Technically Autumn started way back in September, according to the calendar. However, here in sub-tropical land, we’re just starting to notice. It was cooler a couple days this week, but will be back up in the mid-80′s this weekend. The time change really makes it feel like Autumn/Winter, though. And made it really weird that [...]
