I had some original pieces that needed to be mounted and framed and all that "preserve this art" stuff done. Oh, and non-standard sizes. I think it was $200 a pop sometime between 5 & 10 years ago at the art framing place. Ouch, but since I really do want to display and protect this stuff forever, worth it.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

My sister took care of framing the cross-stitch wedding piece I made for her and my BIL last fall--it ended up costing $80 after the half-off coupon from Michaels, but according to Mom who is visiting there now, it looks gorgeous and is prominently displayed in their living room.
I've got several other cross-stitch pieces I'd love to frame for my apartment, but I'm not going to spend that kind of money, that's for sure!

I have a mat cutter, but I suck at it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Beverly!
Lesson learned: Nova-kitty has not calmed down enough to be allowed in the bedroom at night. Sure, having her curled up to me, purring like a motorboat, as I fall asleep is kinda soothing. The middle-of-the-night excursion under the covers was not.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm finally crawling out from under the pile o' stuff that accumulated during the weekend when I ran around Boskone, and the holiday Monday when I had to spend 11 hours in classes.
I get another loooong day tomorrow as a reward.

Sick day today. Mostly slept and worked on catching up in the SPN thread.
Happy Birthday, Beverly!!
That's all I got.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aw Jen. Feel better, and thanks for the wishes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
