Warning: Food Pictures Ahead

Start the day with waffles.

Ice and fresh snow.

But … it’s ICY snow, with a hard crust over the soft stuff. Not suitable for paws and running.

It seems so unfair.

But there was fresh bread with dinner.

And the lasagne was really good.

And the salad was truly beautiful (even if it was, you know, salad).

Mustn’t forget the birthday cake.

All in all, I’d say Chappy had a darn good day.

Really, the only drawback, from his point of view … other than NOT being able to romp in the snow … was that there was simply no time for a nap. Which means he is tired, tired, tired tonight! But, in a good way.

Hey, I finished my sweater! I finished the second buttonband last night, wove in the ends today, reinforced the steeks and the seams, just to be safe, and now it just needs to be blocked and the buttons sewn on. Woohoo! Pictures will be forthcoming as soon as it’s blocked, because right now she’s kind of curly around the edges and says she’s embarrassed to be seen that way.

Not only that? I got some spinning done. Two ounces of my MVFF Cormo. (It’s amazing how much spinning you can get done when you actually, you know, sit and spin.) I brought my wheel down to the kitchen today so while we were all sitting and chatting and laughing, I spun. So I finished the bobbin I started at New Year’s … did I ever actually tell you that I was spinning AT the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve? Now I’ll ply it with the other bobbin, and I’ll have TWO skeins of MVFF Cormo yarn in the original, natural color.

Have a good Monday, folks–if such a thing is possible!
