Phew!

Today, on my own orders, I took a mental health day. I've just survived 3 of the most hectic weeks in recent history - and even my mini-vacation last week had drama in it. Today, I called in and fully admitted that I wasn't really sick, just worn out. And I slept in, and spent the rest of the day working on MS3.

I'm halfway through clue 2. Pretty, no? I'm using 'crystal' clear beads, and Jaggerspun silk that I had in stash. I'm usually not such a sucker - but everyone is doing it - and I'm glad I joined! It's really fun!

Did I mention that my father and stepmother were visiting this weekend? Well, they were. We spent all afternoon on Saturday on a whale watch tour - and it was AWESOME! We found this little calf whale and it's mom - and he was by the side of the boat for 30 minutes flapping his tail and waving his fins - just amazing. I started up a plain vanilla sock to bring with me - using STR medium weight in Sherbet:

I started the second sock while Aaron and I watched the Transformers last night (more than meets the eyes!). Ha. I totally used to love that cartoon when I was a kid - and they did a good job of turning it in to a film. OK - off to my quilting group!
