Pics from last weekend are here.

Sad Day for Bathing Costumes...

So, we didn't make it on our camping trip because of this: Alison's pic of The Lake

That's right, we're in California.

Amy Butler's Blue Sky Hat, made with AB fabric as well.

Bumski.

(compensated for by going down a needle size),
which is, as I have stated in the past, soft as kittens.
Kittens, I say.
