My Girl Friday: A doughnut truck, hot chocolate, and embroidery . . .

I saw this on my way to work this morning. I snapped a pic (at the stop light!) and sent it to Aaron :)

My rear is still hurting. I'm still using ice but it makes my whole body cold when I ice it. Another trip to the chiropractor today helped!

I had some time after lunch before my appointment so I went to my two favorite places. Hobby Lobby and Barnes & Noble. I want to make a few sets of cloth napkins to use at home so I went in search of some fun material to make them out of. I wasn't feeling very inspired as I was shopping. Not that HL doesn't have some really cute fabric because they do. It's just that I really want to paint my kitchen and Aaron and I have yet to decide on a color and I want my napkins to coordinate. I did get some red gingham . . . since the red from my cabinet is growing on me I thought it would make some cute napkins.

Then I went into B&N to kill some time before my chiropractic appointment this afternoon. I really wanted a good coffee or something so I stood in line forever at the Starbuck's in B&N and ordered a Skinny Salted Caramel Mocha. I love salted dark chocolate or salted caramel. There is a candy store in the mountains we like to visit that makes and sells gourmet chocolate. They have a chocolate covered caramel candy with sea salt that it swoon worthy. Using deductive reasoning and common sense, I decided that this was the drink for me. I. Was. Wrong.

It.

Was.

Disgusting.

I don't know if the girl who made it just really messed it up or what but I couldn't drink it. As a matter of fact, I gagged. Never again will I step out of my caramel latte comfort zone and try anything different at Starbucks. I poured my $4.55 down the drain.

I was really disappointed about missing out on a fancy drink so after my chiropractic appointment I went home and made some real hot chocolate. You know with milk, Hersey's Cocoa powder, sugar, salt and vanilla. It was wonderful and much cheaper.

So I sat down (on a hard chair and with some ice) with my hot chocolate and computer to catch up on some blogs I like to read. Then my hiney starting hurting so I got up and finished up some things I started for my craft room that still does not exist.

I stitched this dress makers form using a Sublime Stitching pattern and framed it in a metal hoop that was my Grandma's . . .

and this cameo which is also in a metal hoop from Grandma's . . .

and I embroidered embroidery in this wooden hoop (not vintage) . . .

All to eventually hang on a wall in my craft room . . . sometime . . .

A few weeks ago I found a pillow case that Ava and I had started a long time ago and never finished. She had almost finished one of the birds :) I finished up the other bird then made a second pillow case for Adrianna.
