Congrats on your new "toy", Julie!! We will all be watching to see you zoom through all those tops now!!
Rob, as usual, your art is just amazing! That latest one makes me think of a summer storm - lightning and heat.
Well, I got another 1 1/2 embroidered animals stitched out and another 2 rows of panto done on Glory. We didn't get home as early as I had hoped from our errands today, but at least I got a little bit done on two UFO's at once. One of my other threads has a "JOT" (Just One Thing) going - everyone is expected to do 10-15 minutes a day on JOT. I'm more of a lurker on that thread, but it IS rather motivating when all those JOT's add up and you have a finished project - whether that's a quilt, or organizing the sewing room, or whatever. It's pretty cool.
I stopped at Mary Jo's on the way home today, looking for inspiration for baby-girl-on-the-way. I bought some pink flannel that has a mama bunny with her baby, that says "Guess how much I love you?", then it says "I love you to the moon and back" and "I love you as high as I can reach". And I got some coordinating tone-on-tone pink to go with it. I'm going to do some kind of wholecloth design on it, but I'm not sure what yet. That way the "how much I love you" will be the focus on one side, and the stitching the focus on the other side.
Now, I'm off to sit in front of the fire with a new JD Robb book.
