First off new books: Humans of New York and a new translation of the Mabinogi. I didn’t think the Humans of New York book was released til tomorrow so it seemed extra special to get it today, no matter what the official date is.
And then emails from Fed Ex and Mom to say that my quilt Solveig has returned from its long travels. It had last gone to France. I allowed to the Quilt National folks that next time I’d be glad to go and pick it up in France, in person!
Especially impressed with how they keep all your original, obsessive packaging materials and re-package it for return in just the way you sent it to them, down to the multiple wraps and ripped strips of fabric used to tie each layer… They must think I’m a total nut job but I do appreciate the care they take with the quilts.
It’s always interesting to me when the quilt comes home after a long tour and you haven’t seen it in awhile. My impression of it coming out was – wow – lighter than I remember and wow – holy crap I really quilted the hell out of it. (I blame Naomi for that LOL)
Finally, I replaced my wireless router last night and when I went to pick up my order after work a co-worker in Back of House had made it extra-special-good and we all enjoyed the experience and now I have not just any airport extreme but a stinkin airport extreme. Made me smile.
