Today was looking to be less than an ideal day. In all honesty, this past week has been rather dreadful. Just when I was wondering how much more I could handle the mail arrived. In it an envelope from my friend Carol. She knew I was having a bad week, but she could not have timed the arrival of this better. Not only did she send this lovely “Just Thinking About You” card of Blessing, but this beautiful wood Cross. It is not just any Cross, but a Cross Puzzler. The black lines are actually laser engraved words. The meaning could not have been more appropriate for today. Thank you Carol for blessing me with your friendship.

Here she is, my joy! She is with me in good times and bad. She has listened to me scream in happiness at the beauty of a WIP or cry in the agony of defeat (see The Frog Pond).
Not to mention, several of you asked why I did not post more photos of her, so everyone is now happy.
Ah, the life of a pampered cat.

Meet FLAK 1.2, it is the younger sibling to my first FLAK, which I had to frog. Honestly, I tried to justify the one cable error I made. It was a lovely cable, I told myself. Who would know it was not part of the design. Okay, so it through off the symmetry, yet that could be “in”, right? No, that argument did not hold with me either. It was so painful to frog my first FLAK. I was almost done with the back, oh yes, I am quite slow at noticing my glaring errors, so I went frogging this morning. I have created FLAK 1.2 and here she is thus far. I shall report updates on her growth.
