WIPs: Several dollars short of a big mac

I’ve been scurring around with my head buried in a pattern trying to meet a deadline that arrives Saturday.  Thankfully its all done and I’m sighing with relief that I can enjoy my weekend at the beach without four footed creatures without a care.

As predicted, I’ve grown bored with the Wheat-ear pullover now that I’ve [...]

What I have been doing for the past 3 or so weeks?

I want to quickly catch you up and hopefully I don’t miss anything. The past couple of weeks has been busy/lazy.
We headed down to Sacramento to a memorial service. We of course had adventures on the way down. Two hours into our drive from home we discover that the front passenger tire [...]
