Strictly F/O’s

Purl and Jack are getting beautified today, so I’m trying to get some housework done while I don’t have Purl’s “help.”  Vacuuming is nerve-destroying when you have a puppy constantly barking at it.  Wagging the whole time, of course, because she’s having a wonderful time.  Her next-favorite game is helping me to change the sheets, which means standing right on the corner of the mattress when I’m lifting it to tuck something in, or tugging off whatever has just been put on.  It’s non-stop fun for puppies!

So I’m going to continue to get some things done that take 1/4 of the time sans petites chiennes, so I’m going to show you some fabu projects from our talented friends and customers:

A sweet baby cardy inn Pluscious, knit by Esther Bratt for an imminent new great grandbaby:
