Gnome tea towel embroidery is done. I had a lot of fun revisiting embroidery. I have not done any since I was a teen. It's kind of like riding a bike, I guess. One does not forget.
And speaking of riding bikes, I'd like to clarify my comment on not being able to ride a bike. It's not that I never learned. I did. And I rode as a kid but I never rode well. I was always unsafely wobbling around. But I did not care back then. As a newly married young woman, Andy got me a bike and I rode it. I did. And hated every minute of it. I had to push up every incline and I wobbled my way around town still but this time imagining my death at every turn of the bicycle. Squashed by every moving vehicle including other bikes was the theme of my rides. Andy did not want to ride with me because I was so pokey about it. It was awful. So now? I choose not to ever ride a bike again. For my safety and yours. "Yours" meaning every other driver and pedestrian on public streets in the US. And elsewhere.
Also? I remember renting mopeds on Nantucket Island one time and that wasn't much better so the Vespa idea doesn't seem too promising for me.
Have I ever told you how uncoordinated and unsporty I am? Nothing could be more true. But I'm okay with that.
Now you know. I hope you are over it! Will you respect me in the morning?
:)

And on the back, an itty bitty freehand mushroom that caused Bethany and Andy to break out into fits of laughter. I'm sure it's because it's so cute and original.
