See the ice tent?

The box of our new puzzle patterns was supposed to arrive today, but, alas, our mail carrier forgot to bring it. So I still don’t have them. Is it any wonder we’re so slow to release new patterns?

On the bright side, the Zweigart Cashel Linen for the Grand Prize arrived today. The Gentle Art will ship the fibers directly to the winner, so the Grand Prize is almost ready to go. It just needs the pattern.

See the harbor seals hauled out on the icebergs?
