Glad you like it! We'll send some more on to you--we have lots. Unfortunately we discovered that there is a corner of our front garden that isn't getting enough rain and the perennial I bought is dying (??dead??).
A very blah-h-h week around here. We haven't been going out, nor has anything been happening. I'm getting a lot of sewing done, and slowly getting to know my new sewing machine. I went through the same piss-off level of frustration when I bought the old one, but this time I work until I get frustrated and then put it away for awhile. I got a dvd with it that is supposed to explain everything. And it explains quite a bit, but in a little girl voice with a Japanese accent. One thing I didn't get was any explanation of when and why I might choose to use the fancy stitches. I ran into difficulty with the free motion stitching, yesterday, that appears to me to be a tension problem. It's only a week until my first lesson, so I just kept a sample of the stitching, and I'll use the Pfaff for the urgent stuff for now. I'm working on two sunprinted hangings that are very different than anything I've done before. So different that I doubt I'll ever be happy with the old stuff again. But I guess this is how we grow.
Amber is up north for a week with work, so no company for supper on Sunday. We're very much looking forward to seeing you, Beth, and I'm starting to stock-pile food. I made four loaves of banana bread for the time we're together, but I have a hunch they won't last. I had planned to make sweet nibbles this month, instead of buying tasteless cookies at the discount store, but forgot to buy brown sugar, so got one batch of choclate chip cookies made and nothing since. You would think this would be good for me, but over the past week I've gained 4 pounds. This worries me as I've been making a real effort not to eat, so I have to wonder if it's fluid.
Anyway it's good to hear from you both, and I'll try to be better with my contribution.
