We had dinner at the Padre Brewing Company and tried a sample tray of their five different beers. The stout was a little disappointing, but the wheat ale was divine.

Birth sampler for my amazing nephew who joined us this past year. The pattern is "Watch Over Me" by Karen Kluba -- www.rosewoodxstitch.com/catalog.php?item=149&catid=26... -- with a few modifications (added another border for the great-great-grandparents, used first names instead of initials, made the baby bird purple instead of red or blue, etc.) I picked this pattern because a lot of birth sampler patterns are a little bit too "babyish," and I wanted something that would be appropriate at any age -- and also because I adored the "family tree" idea that would make this not only a commemoration of his birth but a record of his ancestors.

we opened the kaoss pad to fix/change the hold switch, so we had to come close to the heart of it

I made four of these to put in the corners of the quilt

i don't do color work well, so i thought i'd practice with some very basic stitches.

Loved the textures produced by the stitching.

I do apologise to the creators- I didn't buy a catalog and so don't know who to credit. Please add a comment if you know who made this.

Average $.99 each at Trader Joes. Results to follow, although I'm sure by number three or four they'll all start tasting the same...
