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.

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.

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.

Aw Jen. Feel better, and thanks for the wishes.

So I'm home, cleaning, and my phone rings because someone is at the door and I didn't hear them knocking.

It is neighborgirl T. She made me this over the weekend: [link] Spoiler for those who haven't looked she fell all over herself apologizing for the H. She didn't realize I used the other spelling until she was done. Know what? This is one time I don't mind at all.

I hugged her to pieces and just maybe teared up. Maybe.

I'm so very lucky.
