Hmm, I'm not sure I want to open a box that looks like that. (Have you seen the movie SE7EN?!!)

And my Star Wars sticky notes in action. Seeing this first thing this morning really made me smile!

I was wearing my favorite bracelet today, and it was creating these sparkle reflections on he ceiling and sun visor. I never did really get the shot I wanted, with the rainbow effect showing.

More nails (sorry, you will get lots of nails this month, including multiple angles of the same ones!). This is Zoya Kierra. I truly love this color! Dark dark pink, almost red, with a purple flash. It truly glows!

My previous quilt piecing efforts used fabric sent to me by some wonderful friends. Above is my first personal fabric purchase for a quilt project. I was very forcibly reminded of going fabric shopping with my grandmother while doing this. Miss you, Granny!

My mom gave me these Leia Angry Birds sticky notes. I think they are hilariously adorable!

With Bengal gone, Star has taken on the responsibility of being as "helpful" as possible while DH is using the computer in the evenings. (Also, yay for not being a quilt piecing picture!)

And what I've pieced so far, with a USA quarter for scale (which is about 1 inch/2.5 cm across, roughly the same size as a 1 euro coin, a Canadian loonie, or an Australian one dollar coin.

See? More quilt pictures. The light stitches show up better on these two dark hexagons. I know they're not very even, but A) I'm still learning, and B) this is the back, so no one will ever see or know.

The back side of my very first English paper pieced project. I was trying to show the tiny stitches, in scale with my fingers.

Stay tuned for more quilt pictures that look a lot like this one. I did a terrible job of taking pictures during the month of September. I missed at least 10 days, and the days I did take pictures, they were multiple shots/angles of the same thing. So apologies if a lot of these look the same! It should be fairly easy to tell which days I didn't take pictures, since they will look remarkably similar to earlier shots. So sorry.

Playing with the new Wii-U. Look Mom, I don't even have to look at the TV to play games!

I didn't actually have a picture for today (see kidney stone sending me to the hospital yesterday; I slept most of today), so here's a cute picture of "the girls" from earlier in the month. Not sure what caught Star's attention (sorry for the blur), but she was definitely on alert.

Really, August? REALLY??!!!! You really thought, "hey, I know *just* what Erin needs to cap off her *wonderful* month: a kidney stone!" Thanks for nothing. At least I have Aragorn to keep me company.

My parents asked if they should still come this weekend after the sad events of this week. I said yes, they have to, since I've already made the banana pudding for my father's birthday, and we don't need to eat it all by ourselves! Of course, I then realized that I made it a day earlier than I intended. Hope it isn't too soggy by the time they get here.
