Peeks and Peaks

Help me decide on a case for my new phone.

See the choices right here.

Today's post is short because there isn't much to tell. My pedicure was rescheduled because my pedicurist (is that a person who does pedicures?) called in sick. That was fine because I could reschedule to Friday, which works better for me. That gave me more time in the morning, and I used it to start a new embroidery project. Peek #1 is this new redwork I'm making for a friend who has done some nice things for me lately.

After that, I headed out to do my grocery shopping. Note to self: Never shop on Mondays again. It seems my grocery store might as well declare a shut down on Monday. Their wine steward doesn't work on Mondays and Tuesdays. I pointed out that it was rather inconvenient since some folks actually do buy wine on Mondays and Tuesdays. My point was acknowledged and well-taken, but it didn't help me find the bottle of Petite Syrah I was looking for...the one that was advertised. No matter. I'll drown my sorrows with a nice Cabernet Sauvignon.

Further complicating my Monday grocery shopping was the fact that the meat department counters were bare because they don't get a delivery on Monday. Those two things left me pretty well determined to cross Mondays off my list for any future grocery shopping outings. There are probably other good reasons, but by that time, I was to distraught to ask anyone else for help finding something. More wine, please.

So then I came home and went to work on my doll quilt for the October Doll Quilt Swap. And that brings us to Peek #2.

Any guesses?

I made good progress on it...probably because I didn't start drinking the cabernet until dinner time. It's ready for quilting now, and since I'm staying home tomorrow, it is getting top-billing on my list of sewing projects.

Now, are you ready for Peak #3? No misspelling there. I'm continuing on with Day 5 of my NP4 protest. After watching MSNBC this evening, I'm feeling downhearted about whether my protest is being taken seriously in Washington. (Pauses to fill her wine glass.) I might have to get more serious and consider adding some signs or tear gas or hunger strikers or something. For now, I'll just continue on with my pictures. Today, we're going to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. This image was taken in September, 2012, on the Teton Loop Road.
