Only for a week, but the sweater and I are heading to McCall for a few days.

No computers, no internet, just wool and snow and fabric (the sewing machine is coming along too).
The gift bags aren't, as one is finished:

and the others are just waiting for handles:

Overall I'm pleased with them, but while these are actually more useful than these,

I still like these better. Are wine bags that would have trouble holding bottles of wine really so bad?????
I haven't told my sidekick I'm leaving him for a few days.

It will be interesting to see if he gives Andy the 4:00 AM wakeup treatment while I'm gone, or if that privilege is reserved only for the Most Favored Human. Frankly, I'm willing to share that status--especially as Theo caught the time change more easily than I did.....
