pictures

Finally managed to take the pictures I was talking about yesterday.

This one is the Asian teapot BOM for April.  I think it turned out pretty good. 


Then I also started the machine embroidery for the coffee cup mug rug but then I didn't like how it turned out.  It wrinkled more than it should have even with a stabilizer on the back.  I'm not sure if my tensions is off or what.  I still might have to take the machine into an authorized dealer to get it fixed.  Well we shall see.  This is what it looked like.  I still might make it into a mug rug. Not sure yet.



Then there were two things which I had bought which are just fun non quilting things.  This is a top for soda cans and the fit on the can is pretty good.  They came in a pack of two so I have one at work and one at home.



The other thing is a battery operated little fan.  It should be good to take to work and/or have at home.  It runs on two D size batteries which I can get for $1 (a 3 pack is $1) so it is certainly affordable.  According to the box it should have 55 hours of "running time" before needing to replace batteries. 



Time to get back to doing the buttonhole stitch (can never remember the other name for it) on Arabesque and watching dvd's.  No cable so only get to watch dvd's and/or watch shows on Hulu.  Yesterday I picked up five movies at the dollar store ($1 each) so will watch them today.  It was a mixed bunch and they would have to be pretty bad not to think I got my money's worth out of them.

Starship troopers2 (which is suppose to be bad but for a buck I'll watch it)

The Work and the Glory  - a story about the start of the Mormon Church

1408 - a scary movie (a psychologically thrilling movie that leaves you gasping in the end - according to it)

Missionary Man  (It has Dolph Lundgren in it - had to get it - plays a vigilante)

Alex Rider - Operation Stormbreaker - a teenage spy movie - I'll give it to my nephew with the five kids.  It's not too bad
