Whirlwind
Where does the time go? I can't believe it's been almost a week since I blogged. The trip to New Mexico was a success. Stacy turned 30 and had a great time at her party.
We shopped and had fun even though it rained most of the time we were there (although it didn't rain a drop on Stacy's birthday - someone was obviously looking out for us). I was good. I bought a couple of things for Travis, but saved my money for the camera I want to buy. Blogging is more important than a new wardrobe, right? Oh, I did have to buy Riley a Corgi Cannoli at the dog store.
Butterfly made the trip to New Mexico and I managed to get a fair amount done (I'd have gotten more done if I hadn't had to work while I was there, but what are ya gonna do?). We did run in to a minor snag. One of Stacy's dogs thought the yarn looked really fun, even through the little plastic ziplock bags. And I have to admit, it looks like he had fun.
But most of it was fixable. I spit spliced the larger chunks back together and kept the little pieces in case I need them down the road. I'm almost finished with the 3rd repeat and I think I may be getting better at the whole 2-handed thing.
I'm still working on my brief and probably won't have much free time until the end of the week, but I'll try to get around and see what you all have been up to. Have a great week.

Butterfly is really showing her colors! Doggies have so much fun with yarn...darn their little hides.

Glad you had a fun trip! Butterfly looks gorgeous, and I'm guessing it's even more beautiful in person.

Butterly is beautiful. You know those balls of yarn are just too much to not play with, think how goo goo we go in a yarn store.
Glad the trip was a success, that corgi connoli looks yummy, even from a human's standpoint.

What an amazing project Butterfly is... glad to see a photo update. Wardrobe? Camera? I'd go with the camera, but the wardrobe hits you in the head in the morning when you can't find the right thing in the closet...

Don't dogs just frustrate you sometimes? *sigh.
