I just went to the gym for the first time in months. YESSSSSS! I won't lie; it was rough. The Biggest Loser was on more than one television. I tried to just close my eyes and focus on my music, but then my mp3 player batteries conked out and I was left with screens full of people trying to run around a track while being tempted with giant platters of pancakes and french fries and I wanted to murder everyone. So I went over to the desk and asked the lady there to please switch the channel to anything that didn't bank on me hating my body. She was mystified.

I finished up three little baby quilts this morning that I made from scraps leftover from Sally's quilt. They used all the scraps up perfectly!

I went to an old camp friend's wedding on Saturday. We had a fantastic time. Here I am with four of my best gals, enjoying the king sized bed in the executive suite:

Also, somehow I ended up with a shovelful of popcorn between my breasts and flashed my bra for a nearby camera. Pretty standard fare.

Why does this always end up happening?

Thanks! I kind of effed it up because I re-dyed the whole head so the top is lighter than the ends. In the light you can really tell. I need to spend more than 7.99 on my hair, maybe.

Yay you for not only going to the gym but for having them change the channel - what's 'motivating' to some is disastrous to others, and I'm glad you spoke up even if the woman *was* mystified.

Those look like such great quilts!

And I love the pics of you and your best gals! You're so beautiful, honestly you light up every photo I've ever seen you in - and that last one is fabulous! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm popcorn...

Doesn't she? It's amazing. I love it when she posts photos of herself.

You're sweet, V. I rarely post the ugly ones. But they can certainly be found on Facebook.

How long does it take you to make a baby quilt like that?

I never know how to answer this question! These ones were made from scraps from Sally's quilt, so I'm TOTALLY guesstimating and I will say 20 hours?

You do photograph so excellently! Looks like it was a great time. I miss you and think that you should come back so we can take more ridiculous pictures together.

I would totally sign up for that. I miss you, too! The other night your green carpet featured prominently in a dream of mine. I think it was because I was re-editing photos from our trip and reminiscing.

Have you moved into selling quilts? If so-- what might one have to do to get a quilt made by you?

I haven't... I feel like my work is not up to snuff for that kind of business.
