Lookie what’s working again

Yep .. I took the sewing machine to our local repair shop yesterday .. and it worked totally fine. Yeah .. my sewing machine made me look like an idiot in front of the nice sewing machine guy. But hey, at least it works. Yesterday I finished my first apron to put up on etsy (FINALLY), embroidered both Belle & Ella’s future quilts, and finished Belle’s quilt top. I LOVE Belle’s quilt .. it was seriously the easiest one yet, but the colors and theme .. it just looks fantastic put together. I can’t wait to show it off. I’m going to try to finish Ella’s quilt before she stops by on Thursday, I should be able to get it done if I don’t clean tomorrow 
(this place is disgusting and needs to be scrubbed down badly)
Sean woke me up for the shuttle launch last night .. it was so beautiful. There was a thick layer of clouds, almost like fog but really really high. When the rockets ignited the whole sky turned yellow, almost daylight. It was amazing. It didn’t last long because of the clouds, but I think we could actually see a little more of its path to orbit then everybody at KSC. I was kicking myself the entire time that I hadn’t brought my camera out with me, but to put together my camera, tripod and find my remote switch at 2:20am was just too much to think about. Next time I’ll set my camera up before going to bed. Hopefully there will be a next time 
Oh! And I happened to put on HDNet after the launch to see their coverage .. they had 5 or 6 HD cameras set up capturing at different angles and different locations .. 2 of which were from a distance with water & marsh between the camera and the shuttle .. seriously beautiful images. I have no idea when or if you’ll be able to see those .. but def. tune into HD Net after the next launch because they have some beautiful shots. Oh heck yeah - http://www.hd.net/ - they’re replaying at 10pm tonight .. hopefully they’ll continue to replay it and you’ll be able to DVR it.
UPDATE - Liz picked StudioElla as her new photography name .. and her site should be up and running soon!
