The trick to everything with a new dog, is lots of exercise, says I. The advantage of that, is seeing Reno in all its fall beauty. We've walked the dogs everyday along the river, hitting favorite spots from Verdi to Mustang this week.

Churro cupcakes!
They're choux pastry filled w/ cinnamon swirl cake batter, baked, then brushed with butter and rolled in cinnamon and sugar, and finally topped w/ chocolate ganache. They're absolutely delightful to eat, like a tender little bite of cake wrapped in a tender, fresh churro.

My sister: yes!... No! I want the chocolate-mousse-filled chocolate cake from The Bear. But make it a strawberry shortcake.

The layoffs mean that the department will now have a work force of about half the size it did when President Trump took office.

Braided loaves filled with cream cheese and blueberry and cream cheese and lemon curd. They smell so good, we may end up eating them before we get where we're going.

It's going to snow 3-4' where Newt works tomorrow. He needs a Hoodola! It can be worn as a cowl, a hood, and a balaclava!
But, I was in such a hurry to get it to him, I forgot to install the drawstring!

Elaine Parks and I made some fun beehives for Candace Garlock's Honeycomb Project. We made a honeycomb with busy bees and a playa with fairy shrimp! I knit both backgrounds using the same stitch in the same yarn, just different colors. Elaine sculpted the fantastic little critters.

This hat is made of the softest yarn using a technique called brioche. I've done several brioche projects, but I learned a new stitch for this one that makes this complicated-looking knit pattern actually pretty easy to do.
