Both D1 & D2 are away this week.

Yes my dears, Boar and I have the house completely to ourselves. Things are hot and steamy around here. We still got the romance, I tell you what! If you were a fly on the wall at Chez Swine, this is what you would have heard ….

Boar and Ann sit in their den, each in their respective chairs.

Boar is cruising the channels while Ann crochets. They have a brief conversation, discussing whether they should go out and get ice cream. The issue is who should be the one to get the ice cream.

Boar: You’re the one who wants it.

Ann: But you have to be the one to get it. I am in my nightgown.

Boar: Yeah. You’re like the Grandma Trifecta over there.

That Boar is pretty funny sometimes! We got so distracted with laughing, we never did get ice cream. Now before I get too distracted, here is your pig for the day! I can’t remember if that wine was any good or not, I just had to have the bottle!

ps. those granny squares are section 6 which I will be seaming today.

this blanket is going to my head! I don’t know why I keep forgetting the pig pictures! thanks to Andrea for noticing the lack of piggies … either the rest of you are wretched skimmers like myself, or she is the only one who cares about the pigs So here are three cutting boards that hang in my kitchen. They are antiques that have been collected throughout the years.

Here is a look at my Babette blanket progress. The picture shows sections 1-4, complete with seaming! My idea to work the squares in the order they are put together and to seam them as I go along is working out well. I can’t imagine dealing with all of these squares at the end. And for all you disbelievers, how about a peek at the back?

Yesterday I had the pleasure of singing Happy Birthday to Kathleen. As a matter of fact, today is the actual birthday, so go on over there and wish her a happy one! She hosted a lovely luncheon (that Kevin rocks in the kitchen!). The food was delicious and a gathering of fiber enthusiasts is always a great time! It was a lot of fun hanging out with Susan, Granny, Marilyn, Ricki and Nancy. Nancy brought along her lovely family, including scrumtralescent Rinaldo! Are you aware that Rinaldo and I have a thing going on?
Guess what, Kathleen wasn’t the only one receiving presents! the flame of love still burns brightly

These are some very cool Mardi Gras pig beads straight from New Orleans! Cara brought them back from her trip last year. She had a knack for finding great oinkers!

Tomorrow D#2 and I depart for the college trip. Some of you asked where we will be headed ….. first stop tomorrow is Sarah Lawrence. Wednesday we will be seeing both Vassar and SUNY New Paltz. Bard is on Thursday’s schedule.

I shall be taking along the Hex Coat, but I don’t know how much knitting time I’ll manage …….
