My brother and nephew came for a surprise visit this morning! That was cool, but I always feel like I've been caught on the hop when stuff like that happens. Anyway, it was OK. Nephew was super chatty, which I love (though I dare say both his parents wish he'd be quiet at least some of the time). He's so full of energy, as well, which I think is great.
He stood next to me at one point, and his head is level with the tops of my legs, which means he's about three feet tall? I think he's going to be pretty tall when he's older (my brother is 5' 8"; I don't know how tall my sister in law is, but I think she's at least 5' 10").
Anyway, my nephew wanted to stay, being too young to understand the concept of a flying visit. And then he wanted me to come home with him and my brother (I had to refuse on the grounds that I had to stay at my house for the shopping delivery, which was 100% true).

I'm working on some cross stitch designs. I don't feel like I talk enough about work any more (I don't know why that is).
I've designed a couple of large ones with words on (one says, "abandon hope all ye who enter here" because I've always liked it, and because I wrote in the front of my most recent sketchbook). I am also working on some month/starsign stuff, because I've always liked stuff like that, as well (even if I think it's complete and utter bunk). And I think other people like that sort of thing, too!
I'm also toying with the idea of a birth sampler, because I think they're nice things to have. But I haven't even got a layout for that, at the moment, it's just nebulous thoughts about what it might look like.
I have also been updating my Etsy shop once every two weeks with a couple of items each time!
Finally: I don't know how interested anyone is, but I'm going to make some big crochet flowers from some super chunky yarn that Jackie gave me a while back. I'm going to put pin backs on them, so you can attach them wherever, but I might also make like a garland with some? I don't know. I haven't crocheted for so long (it feels like, anyway) that I'm kind of all out of ideas. Or it feels like that, anyway.
I'll make a few and post pics on my instagram!

I'm really happy with my new phone! I feel like I should send a message to the shop I got it in, telling the member of staff I saw that he was right.
