Applique Progress, Et Cetera

I've been working more on my Charm Star applique today.


Here is a sum total of additions - some of the four-petal blossoms, all the circles, the white flowers, and that teetering stack of leaves.


Yes, it's been slow-going, but I'm amassing a large stack of leaves. These aren't even all of them; I've still got more waiting to be turned under on the ironing board. So - today yielded a bunch of prepared applique and...some shopping.

I have been looking for a clock for my sewing room for a while. I had a piddly alarm clock in there, but it takes up an outlet and has an ugly red display. I wanted something that would work well with the colors of the room, but still reflect a certain me-ness.


And oh my god, is this ever it. My BS in Computer Science was riddled with math, and I was very surprised to learn that I'm good at it! I failed geometry in high school, for heaven's sake. Sharon of Indigo Threads posted about the Geek Gear Etsy store, and I snapped this Math Equation Clock up, although I would have considered the Binary Number Clock if it weren't red.

**Edited to add: Sweet dancing Jehovah, I almost forgot that next Saturday is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! It is the day before my birthday every year, and the lust for presents frequently blots it from my mind. But oh, how I love to talk like a pirate. Plans to celebrate appropriately are now unfolding...**

Moral of the story: I love Etsy! And Pirates! And leaves!
