Two Hobbies in One!

I rode down to the Anaheim Convention Center to the Scrapbook Expo and came home with a few stamps. Found a couple of really interesting sets, but didn't realize just what I had until I got home:

Yeah: Teresa Wentzler stamps!!

Progress on Mary

I started her in the motel on Friday night, then got more done on Saturday during our little GTG.
This table is just a few feet inside the door, so there was lots and lots of natural light streaming in…so much that I never did need a lamp! Here's a bit closer view:
The fabric is Picture This Plus' "Heritage" in 32-count Lugana, and the fiber in use is Gentle Art Sampler Threads' "Mulberry."
There are more pictures of my trip to Alameda over at Slouching toward Rivendell, taken during my all-too-brief cycling tour of the city.

Godspeed, Endeavour!

NASA Image of the Day is a shot at the T+11 seconds mark. And, of course, there'll be more shots on the NASA website, and rockin' cool video on the NASA channel.

In other news, I got the call from my LNS that my Mary Wigham fabric arrived, so I cut my morning bike ride short and picked up my fabric!

And the 2009-2010 hockey schedules have been released. I'm baffled that the Caps will be in my area to play the Kings but not the Ducks. Seems silly to me. But on this California visit they'll also be playing the Sharks. Can you say "road trip"? Hello, Bay Area!!

Well, this just bites!

The BFFs and I went to the Joint Forces Training Base (formally NAS Los Alamitos [the Navy still holds the lease] but currently being run [down] by the Army, hence the name "change") for their annual Independence Day celebration. We had a good time, but on one of my bicycle tours of the base, I got a flat tire. So today I'm off to the bike shop.
