Oh yippee! New printhead is coming either tomorrow or Wednesday, then a mad rush I'll be in for a couple/few weeks, but at least it's on its way. I haven't been able to print a thing in 3 weeks, and the backlog grows daily! I so hate making anyone have to wait for things they've ordered, but this is out of my control and FAR too costly a repair for me to take care of myself. (I could buy another used Phaser 860DP for the cost of one printhead - that's how costly it is.) The ink manufacturer, though, stands behind their ink, and replaces printheads that may get clogged because of it. I've always been happy with the quality of the ink and my prints and will continue to use it.

I've been working on the patterns for the alpaca boucle booklet and have started a design for the Winter Gazette issue. Can't get any painting done with the endless rain, but we have a spot of sun today - oh boy - we sure could use a bit more sun here - can't get the house puttied, primed nor painted until it dries out and *stays* dry. August was never wet here - always hot and dry, with thunderstorms, but never an ongoing wet and cool-ish month - weird.

Well, I should get this design done - pattern written and samples knit - as I won't have a moment to breathe real soon.
