Three new blocks

Even though it takes a while to put together each block, it's kind of satisfying. It's nice to see them come together. Kind of like a puzzle.



Cupcakes (a very thick Michael Miller (or was it Alexander Henry, I forget) fabric). It has glitter on it! And another one, small things scattered on the fabric with what they are written in script.



And the "ice lollies." I think these kinds of fabrics - with the sweets just randomly scattered - are my favorites for the blocks. (Also, the bright colors show up well.

I had to run an errand after Piano yesterday. It was one that took me to a place that, among other things, sold Beauty Products, so as a bit of consolation for having to run an errand so late in the day, when I'd rather be at home getting my dinner ready, I bought a new nail varnish. I may not go for pedicures (Partly because I can't stand to have anyone touch my hooves feet) but I do like to paint my toenails when it's warm



The color is called "Wild Strawberries" but in the many times I've seen wild strawberries I have never seen them exactly this color (I used to pick wild strawberries every summer as a child - we had the REAL wild strawberries, the ones sometimes called fraises des bois growing out in the field behind our house. I say REAL to differentiate them from an imposter species called "barren strawberry," which DOES NOT taste like strawberries)

I also bought some of those remover-impregnated felt pads to try. I was skeptical about them (especially the claim that one pad would do ten nails) but using one on my old pedicure I discovered they work like whoa. I might even try wearing the glittery polish again ("Rockstar Pink") that was so miserable to get off before. They're kind of expensive but they're a lot less messy and a lot less of a pain than soaking cotton balls in remover.
