Yeah...so... I've been super busy getting prepped for the holidays. In addition to that, my son turned 24 yesterday. I asked Pixie (for those of you who remember Dragon and Pixie) if she could set her magical crochet hook to work and make the kid a viking helmet and beard. She is an absolute wizard and he LOVED it! He wore it around for an hour and a half in the house and still had it on when he gave hugs goodbye and left for home. I kept catching him glancing in the mirror and grinning from ear to ear. Goofy kid.

I'm working on quilts for the kids using the most gawdawful clashing fabrics I can find. Herbie the Wondercat has been, as always, my trusty assistant. Mainly, he's decided his job is to lie on the fabric WHILE I'm sewing and when I turn the fabric, he turns with it. *sigh* He sure keeps me laughing.

I've got one more quilt to go and will start cutting the squares for it in the morning. Tonight I have a magnum of wine that's about half gone. I expect to likewise be half gone before much longer.
