Blogging activity has been sacrificed for knitting, travel, and visitors. And SP exchange activity - last night I prepped 4 packages for mailing. There's probably going to be a need for new hires at Canada Post if I keep joining these SP exchanges! Reveal of the closeups will be tonight. Catchup blogging over the weekend. May I just mention this - Monday night, I dreamt that I was reading a post written by Grumperina in which she blasted the concept of crocheted socks. Exactly how pathetic is it to spend REM composing a blog entry for someone else? At least it wasn't a medical dream, like the one I had last night. The first item was: A raku apple, given to me by my friend Ute. Made by Ute's friend Neil. Ute gave one to each of her friends who attended "Girl's Weekend" at her cottage on Lake Erie a few summers ago. Neil built the kiln himself, and taught himself how to do pottery. At the time, he was also in the process of gutting his old cottage and totally redoing it. Here's the second item: The decoration on DH's birthday cake; not a bad representation of him at the poker table. You know you have made it when you have been immoralized in sugar icing (because rest assured, that the head was removed from the cake, and is drying in preparation for being varnished and then incorporated into an objet d'art.)
