Fire me up!

I've had me a good ol' time today firing up the new blog and playing around with Fireworks MX 2004, to which I recently upgraded. Unfortunately, one of the Happy Holler Household members is not feeling quite so fiery despite the fact that her coloring would suggest otherwise. Here she is, the Purrfect Patient, longsuffering in her Elizabethan collar and unwilling to rule.

I discovered a couple of days ago that she had become rather holy-- that is, that two holes had appeared in her chest, the apparent result of some kind of animal attack. She is such a good girl, however, that the vet did not even have to anesthetize her to flush them out and clean them. I've never seen an animal so patient with the collar, either. She seems to be feeling much better, and is getting a lot of love and attention.

The winner of the Weekend Wowee! Award is... the sale at Martingale Press, which I honestly had no clue was located in Woodinville, WA, not far from where I met a knitting buddy for coffee on Friday. She calmly explained the PILE of new books sitting on the table thusly: Martingale Press has an annual sale of craft books (mostly knitting and quilting) and they were selling them for $3.00 per book. $3.00!! We rushed on over there and I purchased over $400 dollars retail value for less than 1/10th of their cost. I like those kind of sales!!

I realized very recently that I have acquired a habit, a MONKEY habit at that. That is, the MOnday Night Knitting Event Yessir! Habit. If it's not Ferals it's EKG and if it's not that, who's to say that I can't have my own MONKEY? So I tell you what. I'll be knitting at Crossroads on non-EKG, non-Feral nights and if anyone wants to show up and hang out, that'll be just greater than great.

I didn't take any fiber pictures today, but you're probably wondering about what happened to Project Gray. Am I right? Huh? Well, I am happy to say that I finished the back and am a ways into both sleeves. I have had to take a break due to the myriads of complaints coming from my wrists (those wimps!) and also the interminably long tunnel that seemed to appear to me, with nary a light at the end. I will return to Project Gray Monday.

Meanwhile, the Experimental Cloak Project is proceeding nicely. Monday will bring you pictures!
