My new Bernina is fantastic - I made a cover for a chair - the squares are all properly aligned!! Imagine!! (Thank you, Alicia, for the wonderful pattern!)
This machine can even make teeny-tiny gathers for teeny-tiny dresses! What fun!

Can you spot Zeke and Dassa above? Zeke is missing his best friend so very much, so we took him to the woods to play...he loved it! (So did we...the woods are such a lovely place to re-center, yes?)

I made certain that Dan's annual birthday pie request was not forgotten in the midst of all the chaos of weeks past. It came out pretty, and delicious. We celebrated Dan in Grand Style.


And to finish, a poem, written by Sweet Dassa, for Dan and me on our birthdays:
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Birthdays are Fun,
And I Love You.
