I'm on a roll.

Got myself some new Gingher scissors this weekend. They were a total impulse buy. I went to Joann for some sewing needles and interfacing and they magically appeared in my hand at the register. They are, in a word, amazing.


Started working on the Colette Sencha top. I'm using a cheap synthetic silk that I got at Joann to see how it comes out.


Performed up to my quality control representative's lofty standards. Why is it that as soon as I lay out fabric and a pattern, Rocky decides he needs to be right on top of me?


Yes, this is acceptable.

The 3 Day Work Week Should Be Mandatory

I had off yesterday because we had house guests for the weekend. I did lots of fun stuff...mostly involving food, beer, and wine.

Ate some cake...Peanut Butter Bomb by Vegan Treats


Knocked over some pins...




Rode some bikes...alas no photo.

Visited a prison...


Did some shopping...thank you H&M.

Almost toured Independence Hall...just couldn't wait in the line due to someone's ADHD


Back to the grind today, but off on Friday!

Weekend Plans

My analysis of Bones' injury was 100% correct...torn cruciate ligament. He also damaged his meniscus. He had his surgery yesterday morning at the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center in Langhorne, PA. Dr. Popovitch performed the surgery. She's the same doctor who fixed Ollie's torn ligament. (She also removed a perianal growth from Ollie. Ollie wins hands down for dog with the most expensive and weird medical issues...he once had strange cauliflower like growths all over the inside of his mouth. The vet needed to get a text book to diagnose the problem because he had never seen them before. And now I'm completely blanking on what they were. It was some wart like/virusy thing.)

CPM and I are picking up the now repaired dog at 4:15 pm today. After that, I anticipate a weekend of hanging close to home. Poor Bones will be sporting a lovely soft bandage on his leg and may need to rock the e-collar to prevent him from chewing the bandage off. I plan to cook in all weeekend. CPM and I have been eating out a lot lately (hard not to when you live near such great restaurants). I need to get back on track with the cooking. I'm also thinking of starting a quilt top.
