Be on the lookout for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

(If you don’t know how long this UFO has been around, read this.)
Nelson, NZ — a town at the north end of the South Island — is kind of an odd place.
It is the nearest town of any real size to Abel Tasman National Park, which is where we had a day of kayaking booked. The kayaking was fabulous — we had a beautiful sunny day, and the water there is this incredible turquoise blue. It is hard to believe it, but I took this picture of a sailboat (with a white sail) specifically for the purpose of showing that it really is, in fact, this amazing color.
The "Z" here refers to NEW ZEALAND!! Yes, here I am on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Ah, the magic of modern air travel. Here is how bad it was getting back home in PDX just before we left.
OK, so I know I said I wasn't going to work on the UFOs during my "vacation".
Well, that was before I got strep throat on the very first day of my "vacation". I mean, it's not like I had this penciled in on my calendar:
If you think waaaaay back, you might remember a few issues I had while trying to make some felted slippers for myself.
Of course, these were not just your garden variety felted slippers. No, I had to make it harder than that. My goal was to replicate my dearly beloved, but quite elderly, pink furry bunny slippers: Hip and Hop.
