done & done

instead of joining the ladies at crafty-night, i assemble our ikea furniture last night!  this is our new entertainment-center-type-thing, it houses my record collection, our ancient tv, nintendo & my collection of 70's board games.  eventually it'll have big rolling drawers on the bottom for the videos & the rest of my board games.  i'm super excited about it!   there was also a cabinet for abby's bedroom: hanging glass doors on ikea furniture wasn't easy, but eventually it worked.  i love getting to put together stuff like this, makes me want to build my own furniture!  someday when i move to maine i can have a woodshop in addition to my sewing room, bookbinding bench & screenprinting studio...

i took advantage of the car ride to ikea by embroidering a pink-frosted donut on the other side of my shirt.  i think it came out really nice, i might have to embroider stuff on all my plain clothes!  i can't decide what to put on the back...  i was thinking of swirling steam across the top with a plate of eggs & bacon, or, as my boss suggested, a diner.  then i need to stitch along the collar & cuffs.  i really enjoyed drawing & embroidering.  i wonder if other people would want shirts like this...
