It's the final countdown!

I'm ashamed, I really am. I've neglected this sweet, sweet blog for too long. Well, I'm back! And I'm screwed. I just found out that my sister scheduled her bridal shower for August 2. Sure, a fine date and all, besides the fact that it's about A MONTH earlier than I expected! This does not bode well for the heirloom lace beaded silk wrap that I'm *trying* to knit for her. Yeah, yeah, I know the wedding isn't until September. But I waaaant to give it to her at the shooooower! (Sure, I'd love a little cheese with my whine. Thanks for asking! You're a gem.)

Here's the progress so far:























Actually I'm a few inches further along than when I took this picture last week. I'm somewhere between 40% and 50% done. It's taken me about three months to do the first half. Three weeks to finish the rest sounds reasonable. Oh, did I mention I'm helping throw the shower, too? My day job is really going to get in the way of my side projects.

busted!

These valentine's roses sure are pretty, but something doesn't look right.















Are those...bite marks??? WTF?

Judging from the way Tela's licking her sizable chops, I'd say so.
















Thank you, Pudge. I'm glad you appreciate the gravity of this situation.
