for Brazey: another knit stuffie finished


I hope Evan's shark doesn't eat it.


Made from thrifted textured yarn with a slight pink tinge.


I took more time finishing this one, unraveling the ladderstitch a couple of times until I got it right. I'm much happier with the results.

Still, there's no crafty activity I enjoy more than making knit stuffies. At least for now.

She/he is adorable. I love the big eyes. Do you watch Martha? I never really cared for pre prison Martha but I enjoy post prison Martha. Last night she was making stuffies with gloves and socks. It was cool.

"Oh-ho!" Jack was delighted when the entire herd of seven javelina---five adults and two babies---walked over to stand just on the other side of the wall, lifting their round wet snouts and sniffing our air. "Someone's been feeding them," I said, over Cassie's barking, and turned to go inside to get the camera...

doesn't take much

This afternoon I went to Starbucks. I don't go often because they're spendy and they've monopolized the coffee business and most of the time I just want black coffee. Part of our Thanksgiving tradition, though, is going to Mom's Target and Starbucks on Black Friday. This year we made it to Target but not to Starbucks, nor did we make it to Starbucks on Saturday, as we said we would on the way to the Deer Valley Goodwill. I have a gift card smoldering in my pocket so today, after buying spray paint and water marbles at JoAnn, I pulled up to the drive-thru at Starbucks. Usually I get some kind of blended iced vanilla chai thing. At the orderboard I was distracted by all the holiday drinks and opted for a white chocolate peppermint mocha, grande. One thing I will say for Starbucks: the employees are always uber-friendly. After ordering from the chirpy counterperson I pulled forward slightly, plugged in my ipod, and started a game of solitaire while listening to the White S...
