Eeek, yet again it has been too long since I managed to get my paws on the computer and report on all the goings on.  The puzzling pink thing indeed seems to be a hat.  It is now sporting a snout but ear size and placement are the latest conundrum.  Aunty Biscuit wasn't very well last week so now she has recovered we have made sure she has been having plenty of walks in the fresh air,  At least this means whilst we are checking out interesting scent trails she can look at plants which could be used for dyes as well as admiring the ones that can't.  Progress has been made on some crocheting, the downside is that there seems to be an endless supply of ends to sew in.
