Has it really been two weeks since I've posted?  I realized mid-week that I had completely forgotten to blog last week.  Nothing real exciting going on, just life and its normal business.  There has been knitting, but no pictures – just visualize the Hidcote Shawl a few rows longer.  The rows are getting very, very long, so I can only manage a few in a sitting.

I've also found myself quilting more.  I seem to do this on a regular basis.  I have several interests, and when one catches my fancy, I seem to really immerse myself in it, almost to the exclusion of everything else.  I'll do that for several weeks and then one of my other interests will come to the forefront.  I don't know that I consider it exactly a problem, but I do envy those who have single interests – they probably get a lot more done.  Of course, I also have lots of help:

Can you see Kirby squished in there on my right side?  That is his favorite place in the whole world and he is never happier than when he is wedged in there.

Maggie, of course, is never happier than when she is out on a walk.  We've been getting out more lately because there have been glimmers of spring (despite a little scare – a two hour snowstorm last week!).  Behold – Dog with Crocuses:

Spring also means that she is starting to blow her coat.  Corgis don't shed too badly most of the year, but at least once a year they blow their soft downy undercoat.  It takes constant brushing to make sure you don't have clumps all over the floor.  Maggie really doesn't seem to mind too much:

You can see the pile of down over to the left of the picture. 

And that, folks, is just about it on this end.  See you next week!
