My name is Anjea, and I live in Austin, TX, with my DH and two Siberian huskies. I am a quilter with a penchant for brights and batiks, an epee fencer that dabbles in sabre, and a lefty with a strange affection for flamingos. Please comment and let me know that you stopped by!
Beeker and Bunsen want to thank Husky Haven for giving them a second chance!

I got to the guild meeting tonight, only to discover that I had brought my embroidery…but not the floss. I came home to finding it sitting on the kitchen table. That’s what I get for missing my alarm and scrambling this morning. *sigh*

Three noteworthy things from the weekend:
I got Jöran back! He’s all spiffed up and ready to go now. *cheers* I haven’t had a chance to see how he’s running, but I will tomorrow. I’m glad to have him back. While I love Jenny, my seams are waaaaay more accurate [...]
