It's a new species!!

I call it the Platyhippo. Okay, so I was trying to make this:



Instead what I got was poor, sad little Piper the Platyhippo here:




I hope to one day not suck so badly at this.

The love you take is equal to the love you make

I think the other eggs seem a little taken aback; what do you think?

I'm glad I did this, but I am also glad it's done. Happy Thingaday all around.

Now get back to work.

all work and no play makes Homer something something

14 hour work day! Still came home and knitted most of an egg cozy. Guilt is powerful.

Will finish tomorrow.

Also, my life is pretty lonely these days, but I am happy to report that my cat still loves me. Just look at the way he cuddles!

An official message

Stupid fricking evil spam comments have been appearing here. I have been attempting to destroy them with my magic clicky trash can. If I miss one, let me know, because I hate them.

Also, I am officially opting out of today's thing because of the charity chocolate competition of doom that I am in tonight.... but if I can get any hilarious phone pictures worth posting, I totally will. (Basically it is an invite only people's choice comp for 6 catering companies in the area. We have to serve up 400 mini samples of this one dessert, and I am thinking that we have way not enough prep. We'll see. )

Taking responsibility

I spent the better part of this evening with a good friend crafting and chatting. We're thinking of setting up regular "lumpy crafting" evenings, which is something I find wonderful.

During conversation, one of the things that came up was our mutual frustration with people who do not do what they are going to do. Seriously, people, if you say you are going to do something, just do it. It is not so hard. If you are not going to do something, don't say you will do it. It's okay. I'd rather you made no promises than promises you can't keep.

Given that context, I am pleased to announce that I completed the scarf I was working on! Just as I had hoped, though barely inside of the month limitation. I've even sewn in the ends! So it's really, really finished! Score.

Excahuse me waitair...

... zis croissant, he is a bit petit, non?

I can't believe it took me this long to knit a croissant. Still trying to decide if I should have that guy I live with come up with a french face for it.
