Mike however, has a GL teeshirt. So he's very very happy, it was W's present for him, and E got him a bunch of tools for carving wood. He's got this plan to get shirts that need cufflinks so I can make him GL beaded cufflinks. *rubs hands together and looks gleeful* Yes! He is a DC fan now!
When we got to Bosco's last night, they didn't have comics out yet. So they told us what they had, and we got the ones we wanted. Mostly DC, one Marvel.
( do you cross stitch? )
We hit the store for candy for Dad, and I found Martha Stewart glitters half off. So I'm a happy glitter girl. Mike is less happy. He thinks glitter is cruel and unusual craft warfare, and probably banned by Geneva Convention. He also has a fear of being confused for Liberace. Apparently he gets teased at work occasionally about the glitter infection he carries.
A baby at the store kicked off her shoe, and her mom didn't notice, Mike picked it up and put it back on her. She was *thrilled* with that, and kicked it off 3 more times. After the last time, her mom held it and said she wouldn't give it back unless she would be good, the little girl yelled "MINE!" and her mom put it back on.. a second later, she was pulling up her foot to take it back off. I think she was really loving having Mike return it to her. She was a gorgeous little girl. Made me very wistful.
Also made a necklace last night. Need to get a picture of it.

I don't know anything about Kingdom Hearts, 'k? Well.. I know a bit more than I used to. I know
sora means sky, and riku means land.kairi is short for kairiku, which means land and sea.. But I know that because a friend speaks Japanese and told me after she found out how much E liked it.
Anyway.. this is Roxas.
( and this is E's version of his bracelet/rings )
And pictures of my record cuffs after I drilled them. I did NOT mark my drill holes, and they came out a bit uneven. So I'm going to make a template for drilling and cutting next time, and write it up for Beadwork at BellaOnline.

Yesterday, there were all sorts of things I wanted to do, but life being what it is, I waited all day for Dad to call so we could do one part of it. He never called. Then it was suddenly 5 pm and too late to do anything.
This post is going to be followed pretty quickly with another post with a couple vintage patterns.
Hmm.. I graphed out a straight cross stitch, no back stitches or half/quarter stitches pattern of the St. Trinian's crest from the most recent movie, and the lyric that goes
"We are the best, so screw the rest
We do as we damn well please
Until the end
St Trinian’s
Defenders of anarchy"
