I know, I told you that I would show you photos of Zauberflote. I promised. And finally I'm delivering!
Here's a bit of a closer-up shot:

And I thought you might want proof that I have actually been knitting the sweater, too. I think she's gotten pretty big!

In other news, want to hear something gross? I found out this evening that my fridge had been unplugged for days. That was a smell I really didn't want to have to experience, let me tell you. But everything is thrown out now, and the wet rags from mopping up the defrosted freezer are in the sink, draining and drying.
And there was good stuff today, too: my gorgeous little cousins are in town! That means that I got to even see Rosetta today, and I'm pretty proud of myself that all the sewing and knitting and weaving of ends and everything are holding up really well. Hooray!
And tomorrow, I get to go with my fabulous little cousin to see the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum. Fabulous!
Fun! Visits from sweet little people!!
I sure hope you figured out how to prevent future refrigerator disasters. Eww!
