But, don't worry Channah & Morgan, I'm still hard at work on the IDF hats, see....

I will be mailing off a bunch soon.

And it should come as no surprise to any, then, that I am nowhere near finished my sweet cotton DK summer dress.... ah - yes... hopefully it will look just as sweet with a turtleneck and tights underneath, because it looks like that's when it will be finished by.....
