Pen For Red

It's regulated that I use certain colors of ink for certain tasks at work.  I know, that's weird, but it is the US government... so, to help with one of those colors, Andreas got me this pen.  It will be stocked with red ink.  And no, I don't work with budgets.

Village Start

I bought this pattern and the fabric while I was in Virginia earlier this year.  Started it after buying the thread in Florida.  Now to get more done!  It's The Village Square from Ink Circles.

Nails Done

I got my nails done at the Fort Lauderdale Hilton Resort while we were there a couple of weeks ago.  Evidently, my nails were fun to do because very few people who go there are the least bit adventurous.  I had brought my own nail polish, and it lasted right around a week.  My pedicure in the same colors is lasting a lot longer, of course!

Slow Fill

This section is so densely filled that it looks like a little progress at a time.  I'm almost done with this square, though!

Another Ipsy

I received both ipsy bags on the same day, despite them being mailed a month apart.  Thanks diplomatic pouch!  At least they got to me.... anyway, I like the scrub in this one.  Not a fan of the eye shadow.

Tacked

 
The piece of gold kid leather is now all tacked down.  The color of this piece is between the two photos, leaning slightly to the more orangey one.  I hope to get to work on this again soon.

A Dilemma

I love getting my ipsy and Julep bags, but I am thinking of cancelling both subscriptions.  The reason is  that they don't come at all more than half the time.  Because I live overseas and have diplomatic pouch forward things to me, they reject anything with an ORM-D label on it, whether the label is warranted or not.  Since these companies almost automatically put ORM-D labels on every package .... it's rare that I get them.  So.  I will probably cancel these in the next month, but I might get some other subscriptions instead.
