Half way through the soup

Well here we are and it's already Wed., trash night. For us at least.
Our old roommate has run off with all the hippy kids into the desert to the Havasupai Indian Res. and let's just say his little dog (from my mum's puppies litter) is now fixed. Of course it was with his permission, but it had to be done. She's 2, not really able to be bred (too hyper active) and hopefully this will just calm her down a bit. She really is a little sweet love muffin though.
I'm currently trying to figure out the appropriate way to attach all my log cabin squares, and yes iphoto is still not working properly. Let's just say there's been stress, but not bad stress, just things that are getting done and a pile of things that still need getting done. But that's all a sidetrack. The squares are lovely and at least 2 of them are already attached. The trick is making them all match in their attached-ness.
On the hat front, well there is now a mini mini yellow polka dot gateau sitting on my coffee table waiting for it's accoutrement. There was also a second blue and brown mini mini made that is just adorable, and made as an optional hat if the husbeasts co-worker may prefer that piece. It's a little taller than the other mini mini top hats (3"), but just as adorable. She's a tall gal also so this she could also pull off. The bowler still waits for me to hand felt some pieces on for the actual hat part. But every time I think about doing it either there's no internet connection, or I talk myself into it being too much work so I sit down with something that is easier hand sewn together. Which is unfortunate because the form is just adorable. (SLACKER!)~that's me.
So there you have it, not much going on. This last Saturday though we were invited out to the husbeast bosses 3rd vacation home, out in the middle of nowhere, near Angels Camp (frog jumping capital of the world). The home itself was amazing. There are 2 dorms that sleep 32 people, a main house where the kitchen is, and then a pool, and hot tub, a pond, a creek and 250 acres of nothing but hills. The houses are formed of rammed earth that was quarried on site, self sustained with a well, and solar panels. Simple yet refined. Breath taking just looking out over the hills to the setting sun and the valley beyond. Most people stayed the night, but we had puppies that we were watching that we had to get back to. I could certainly go there for a knitting retreat any day.
Still sorry there are no picts. So sad with all the things I've been up to also. Well soon. Isn't that normally my story. Yes the BFA photo student is late with her picts again!
Cheers til then.
