Okay not really a Duchess... actually the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. (even though there IS a duchess in the story). Anyway, I started working on the pattern for the Queen. And here's a picture of my favorite place to work... .... sitting on my bed with a big work desk (aka piece of cardboard). Yay for stocking feet in the pic. I have an area set up in my den, but it's by a window and it gets cold in there. Plus on my bed I can stick pins through the cardboard and into the bed to hold down patterns and stuff.

Alright, so it's 3 am and I have to be at work at 8 so I'm gonna try to sleep. Look forward to more posts and stuff. Queen of Hearts and King of Pumpkins, Jason
