Jeff is so sweet. We were watching something last night and I said "Oh great, now I want cinnamon buns". He went to the Farmer's market today and *got me a cinnamon bun*! I love that he remembers stuff like that.

And now, I really want to make cinnamon buns. Just as soon as I find my rolling mat.

Since 1995, Transparency International (TI) publishes the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) annually ranking countries "by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys." The CPI generally defines corruption as "the misuse of public power for private benefit."

Wow. I had no idea this was a thing.

Bummed today, but will get over it. Life goes on and all that.

I'm working on drawing. I want to make my own embroidery patterns one day. Not that I'll stop using patterns from Sublime Stitching and other places, but there's stuff in my head that wants to be embroidered. I found that I can get a big roll of t-shirt stabilizer, so I'm going to be experimenting with running that through the printer and seeing how it actually works when I'm using it. If the ink smears while I'm stitching, I'm sunk. But if this works, a whole universe of possibilities opens up.
