I knew I'd have to remedy the "no handwork" situation. I found this fun embroidery that I started in a class with Kaari of French General.
Here's what it looks like when it isn't a wrinkled mess! It's really fun to work on.

My son is arriving back to the lower 48 very early this morning.
If you missed it, he's been in Kenai, Alaska setting fish nets for a cannery. His girlfriend flew up a few days ago and they are exploring together before coming home to Oregon.
This was a king salmon he was showing us. WOW! My son isn't super tall but that is a really big fish!
