The blog entry is long overdo, I had hoped to have the HPL dress completed in time for  my Darlin Husband's  Graduation/PhD hooding, yet, I have been swarmped with a myriad of tasks: job searching, app submittals, apt hunting, moving preparations, admin/bureaucratic paperwork tasks and more.  (aside: if one more person contacts me to say another xyz paperwork file is missing and please resubmit  the paperwork, I'd think  I would "&*^%$" rather nicely at their ineptitutde, really).... So, no time has been available for me to get the dress done in time. (Le sigh)

I find myself wishing just for some quiet time to have some crochet (stitchin wishin) theraphy ;-)

Well, that is all for now, I have to get back to packing and more.
