Today I decided to indulge. My DD had minimum day, which for afternoon kindergarteners means that you have to be at school by 7:45 a.m. rather than 10:05. I got her to school on time and still having not heard back about my Road to California entry, I treated myself to a large pumpkin spice soy latte, half caff (I sure didn’t need any more jitters than I already had) at Stell, only the best coffee shop around (corner of Barton and Alabama if you’re ever in Redlands, CA).

It’s always worth it at Stell, a complete feast for the senses. Not only smells and tastes great, it looks fabulous too. That would make a magnificent quilt.

Turns out I needn’t have fretted about my quilt. Zéphirine Drouhin was accepted to Road after all. I received the acceptance letter this afternoon. That’s one trouble with a creative mind, it can also be rather imaginative when it comes to worry.
