Too many Jelly beans

Ug. Long ride home (my sweetie drove - again!), but great weekend with my husband and parents, and a nice if brief visit with old friends. Went to the local quilt shop - the Cambridge Quilt Shop, on the border between Cambridge and Belmont, Mass. Nice, helpful, fun to chat with folks. Anyway, about halfway through my shopping my Mom announces that *she's buying!* Wahoo! I didn't get anything that I wouldn't have gotten anyway, but we still got out of there pretty cheaply. (If only they'd had more Moda marbles...) Anyway - new loot, and a new bobbin ring - MUI importante, since my old bobbin box is overflowing! Got some of those new space dyed threads too to make my stipple work spiffier, plus two more spools of monofilament since I liked my experiment with it on my postcard so much.

Speaking of my postcard, how bad is it that I had to explain it to both of my parents, and even walk my Dad through the various symbols in it to get the joke? Oh well. He doesn't get sarcasm either, but he's still a swell guy.

Anyway, enough of my babble - my ovaries are *very* peeved at having had a seat belt mushing them for four hours, and I'm hoping to make it through the next two weeks without going back on the narcotics. First ultrasound for this ttc cycle is on Tues, so *fingers crossed!*

btw - I think I am going to start the Hmong piece over again - with freezer paper and foundation piecing. I'm just not happy with not having something come out the way I designed it and having to adjust my vision to fit my project. I'm calling it a 'learning experience.' Lol...
