There's 12 questions total and I... wrote a lot. So I'm breaking this into a two-parter AND including my Inktober drawings to sweeten the deal. YOU'RE WELCOME.

My Father-in-Law complimented my beet wreath embroidery piece I just finished and after he'd gone I asked the family if he was just being polite or if they thought this'd make a decent birthday gift for him, as I hadn't a present for him yet and only a few days left to sort that out. So, here we are!
It's due tomorrow, at the joint party he's sharing with his youngest son, since their birthdays are so close to one another.

"Is there anything you want here that you can't get in the US?" my Mother-in-Law asked us several times in her thick French-Brtitish accent over the weeks leading up to our annual trip back to England. In the nine years that Matt has lived with me in Portland, he's only ever missed his weekly call to his family either when he's sick or traveling, but as long as he's able-bodied and has an internet connection, each Saturday or Sunday morning he video chats with his mom, who is typically already t...
