I managed to feed the visitors on Tuesday—lentil soup, bread and cheese, lemonade scones, and a birthday cake, coffee, with chocolate icing—although I had overestimated the amount of creative play we'd be able to get through in an afternoon, so the cards will have to attend our next get-together to be finished. But everybody had fun, so that's all right.

Today, I dyed some yarn with Kool Aid (Lemonade and Tropical Punch)… but somehow failed to secure the skein well enough. And spent, oh, five hours untangling it. But hey! It's better than writing! The deadline is a whole week away. No need to write just yet.

Also, I now have backache.

Speaking of procrastination, I have been wandering through the internet and came upon a True Gem which I had, alas, failed to notice when it debuted, although apparently it was Huge. Surely, surely it must be Performance Art? An author takes exception to a review. Oh, boy. *boggles* There goes an author who has already reached the peak of his artistic potential.

Untangling skeins are not fun. Not fun. I've never dyed yarn before, now that sound fun ;)

Also, lemonade scones sound amazing.

No, indeed, 100m or so of *pain*. However, it does look quite pretty—a variety of shades of pink, since I started with something in varied beige.

Lemonade scones are very yummy and quick - you just add very thick cream, plus lemonade, to the flour (and salt), mix, roll out and cut. I shall adopt this method for all future sconage needs.

Sounds lovely! Have you decided what you are going to knit / make with it?

I will definitely have to try this holiday season :D
