Um, yes, I bought more polish. Of course I needed it! The box actually came a day or two ago, but I saved it for today to give me something pleasant to look forward to. Given that I selected these by looking at pictures online (and you never know how accurate they are), I think I chose very well. Only 1 or 2 I'm not sure about, and a couple that I was uncertain about turned out to be absolutely gorgeous.

This is probably the last picture I will ever take of Bengal. We will take him to the vet tomorrow and say goodbye forever. My heart is breaking.

After nearly a year and a half (Spring 2012 to Fall 2013), we are finally back at our old soccer rec league and even with many of our former teammates. It feels so good to be back! (Remind me I said that when I am grumbling about early morning soccer games in a few weeks.)

And this is one of the polishes shown in yesterday's picture. You can't tell from this photo, but the glitter is actually holographic. So pretty! This is about as close to orange as I can safely get, but I do love the color.

Okay, so I *may* have done some online shopping while DH was out of town last weekend. My order arrived today. I only paid for the full sized polishes. Everything else, including the mini polish, came in that bag to the right as free samples. Nice!

More restaurant art, but I do genuinely like this painting, both on its own merits, and for the color and flow. I could see this making a great abstract watercolor-type quilt.

This is one of my all time favorite polishes. In fact, it would not surprise me to discover that it appears in a previous Project 365 picture from a past year. It is China Glaze's I'm Not Lion. So pretty, so sparkly, I just couldn't help but revisit this old favorite this week.

This is a painting that hangs at a restaurant we frequent. I don't really love the painting (though I don't mind it), but what I do love is the flow of the colors across the canvas. If I ever get really into this quilting thing, I might use this for palette inspiration.

Honestly, since I am doing this several weeks months after the fact, I have no earthly idea why I took this picture. I imagine we either just finished a long rainy patch or we were about to go into one, and I was trying to document the sky.

Ta-da! Aren't they pretty? It really is going fairly quickly (compared to some of the other crafts I do).

Finally starting to make hexagons out of the materials my friends sent me. This is the prep stage, where the individual hexagons are created. Then, we can proceed to actual piecing.

And while Daddy is away, "the mice" will go play at the movie theater.

The 21st Century would like to welcome the Gaston family to the party! DH is on a business trip, so we tried Skype for the first time tonight. (Yes, I know.)

And we're without power. Again. Had no idea what we were going to do tonight without light, and then I remembered my light wedge. I don't use it a ton anymore, but it sure does come in handy every now and then.
