Lucy was the only cat that was interested in the sewing party.
Annie was not as interested but was close enough to suffer through getting a new kerchief.

Bulk napkins
This week I'm helping to sew wedding napkins. It hasn't gone as smoothly as we had hoped but it's still fun to sew together. Hopefully they'll be done this week and thankfully my friends are having a very small wedding.

Thank you, Japan.
This morning I am off trying to find a last minute maid of honor dress for my best friend's wedding. We were at the bridal store last week to find her wedding dress. I mentioned that technically I would be her Matron of Honor. The lady helping us at the store said that the trend lately is to use the term Goddess of Honor. Ladies, this whole thing of inserting Goddess into titles has.got.to.stop. I know what you're going for but the execution has failed.
After dropping this fun fact on us we got to picking out wedding dresses. The ladies at the store (who were very nice and helpful) seemed to not know what to do with a bride who was so laid back, had a month to plan a wedding and also seemed freaked out by the trying on process. Apparently I had blocked out the whole awkward part of borrowing undergarments and having to have assistance with gowns although I think that might have been more that I was in this store for about 15 minutes. I tried on the first dress I saw when I walked into the store and then was out. At this point I thought the worst part so far was the Goddess comment. Then Megan found the dress she wanted. Megan said "alright, I like this one. This is the one I want" Lady: "So this is it?" Megan "yea!" Lady: "So you're saying Yes to the Dress?" Megan "yea". I thought this was some sort of fluke but then it happened with the bride to be to the right of us as well. Luckily we were ready to go after this.
Well, that's more than enough about bridal stores so hey, check this out! Japan sent HD cameras to space a few years back. They took this on the moon. It's narrated and so beautiful. Although seeing anything from space is amazing it's kind of nice to actually be able to make out something so well. It makes that whole "holy crap, I'm on that planet right now" feeling even more spectacular.

Thursday's Accessory
My desk is lousy with Squidtivity and other Holiday themed squid at the moment. These wings were created 2 months ago. The Fall and Winter season never really ends around here.

Squid A Month Club (August Astronaut)
On the list of this particular club member was the description of "last astronaut".
Tina Kova is elated to be the first squid in space although her excitement is tempered by sadness. She's on the last NASA flight and is determined to make the most of it. She's gotten clearance to use her own camera creation while on a space walk. While repairing DEXTRE she will take a break to photograph all of the wonder around her. She'll also take a break to bask in the knowledge that she has gone where no cephalopod has gone before.

Roadside America
Hey Look! It's August 1st!
I was gone most of last week. We were out in New Jersey to visit family. On the way home from our whirlwind trip we did take some time to head to Roadside America. I don't think I could do a better job than Scott did with the photos and such so you should check out the post below. I don't think I'll ever get sick of going to this place.
