I got a lot of good - and highly bloggable - stuff done today… and I know I’d hinted to a couple of people that I was planning a sort of refreshingly-sane-ish post for tonight as a result. But guess what. I’m not much of a Saturday-nighter, as a rule, but nevertheless tonight was Saturday night, and, well, it turns out that we were the party - and if all goes according to plan we will be the party tomorrow night too, in the sense that we’ll be working hard most of the day to make ourselves be the party in the evening - so the upshot is that [A] I’m not posting all that good stuff tonight or indeed tomorrow and [B] I’m not apologizing, because I’m not sorry, because it was (and will be) fun, and I know perfectly well I’ve earned it.

So no promises, but Monday is sounding like a pretty good time for reporting (starting to, anyway) on the events of the it’s-a-weekend-after-all weekend.

Among the highlights will be tonight’s pictures of Lauren modeling the realization of her fantasies, i.e. the Laceball Cap, which looks (every bit as much as I hoped and predicted) as if it had grown right out of her scalp, only maybe a little prettier. (OK, that sounds a little odd. Let us just say that what does grow from her scalp is plenty pretty, and it and the cap complement each other and are enhanced by the gleeful expression on her face, not to mention on mine. She Totally Gets It - yeah, as if I’d have made it for her if I’d thought for a second that she wouldn’t.) With luck there will also be more such pictures tomorrow, because [A] I don’t think she’s taking off that cap any time soon, and [B] I’m actually (somebody alert the media) setting an alarm so I can get up early to help her with some end-of-school-year paperwork, in the hope that that will free her up to join in the evening’s feasting on the clams Barbara and I dug this afternoon.

Of which I guess I forgot to take pictures, in all the flurry, but there will be more tomorrow. More clams, I mean - tide willing - and also more photo-ops.

Plus lace updates, and felting updates, and bits of mild tongue-in-cheek philosophizing on same, all fodder for… Monday.

But not for tonight, because tonight we were the party, and blogging-wise I’m taking the rest of the weekend off.

(My camera, however, will remain on duty….)
