The cherry tree in front of the girls ADU has beautiful translucent cherries that are so ripe they're starting to fall off the tree. And the cherry tree in our back yard has almost fully ripe cherries. It's a little early, isn't it?
It's had to know for sure, because we don't journal that sort of thing.

I've written a knitting pattern for a Jeep cap, (Radar hat) and I should be able to publish it fairly soon. I've ordered a new camera and we're hoping it clears up some of our issues. Lighting will always be a challenge in this house, though.

My new PukiPuki is supposed to arrive on Saturday. This will allow me to expand the size of patterns I have available. The Amelia Thimble ones haven't been as popular as I expected. Maybe it's the type of clothing I've offered. I worked out a princess dress, the fit was spot on but it frays badly and the seams pop. There isn't enough room for more seam allowance and I don't like using fray check, but it may be the only solution. Anyway, that style may be what the consumer wants.

I spent some time working on the Dodge, apparently there is Bondo on the floorboard, roughly finished and covered in the rubber coating that has bonded with the fragrance. I used a grinder with a 60 grit flap wheel on it and was able to take most of the rubber stuff off, smoothing the Bondo to boot. Then I neutralized some rust with Ospho. It causes any paint it touches to bubble off, as well. :/ Good thing I planned to paint most of the truck. Nothing fancy, just quirky. I hope to be able to get some cool dragons and fairies painted on there. It will drive the collectors nuts, as in mostly furious. My truck, my paint.
