speaking of martha stewart....

So apparently I'm surrounded by people doing Martha crafts. First Jeph made the wreath and then Kris at work made the cutest coasters:

I took a picture without the flash too to show the colors better:

She sewed them, and look how cool the patterns of stitching is and so straight!

She said don't look too closely because they aren't straight, but they totally are.  She found them in a Martha Stewart Living Magazine, and I found the same thing online in case any readers are inspired to make them.  I'm so impressed with the sewing because the maze-like stitching is one continuous line of stitching!  Thanks for the present, Kris!
