He's Here

We made it safely through Hurricane Dorian; a bit of wind damage to our trees and some very minor flooding on our property from a night of endless rain. The power flickered a couple of times but never went out. We're very grateful, especially after seeing pictures of the terrible destruction the storm caused in the islands.

In the midst of all this our grandson also finally arrived via emergency C-section -- a very tough delivery for his mom after going through two days of labor, but she and the baby are doing fine now. Say hello to Oliver:

He's really cute, and a very good baby. When we met he cuddled up to me and slept in my arms for about an hour.

My guy is also continuing to recover brilliantly from his surgery, so all is well here. I'm just going to need a few days to catch up on all the sleep I've lost. :)

So glad to hear too that your guy is doing really well and you managed to come through Dorian relatively unscathed, all things considered.

Thanks Theo. Just glad everyone got through safely. If I could just sleep for a week solid now, I'd be aces, lol.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
