Friday Photo: A night well spent

31 Jul

I actually did remember last night that it was Friday, but I hadn’t had time to upload this photo to Flickr and had already shut down my computer.

A night well spent

Amy’s Park Hoodie

28 Jul

Here’s one thing that’s been keeping me busy the last couple of weeks… finally finishing Amy’s hoodie!

Amy's Park Hoodie

Things were so nuts in May and June that I really didn’t have the mental power to do anything complicated. I felt bad because all I needed to do was finish about 3 inches of the hood, then pick up all around the band and knit ribbing for 2.5 inches. Finally I had time and thought enough to pick it back up about two weeks ago, and… bam!

Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted Weight in “Verde Adriana”

LOVE – Amputee cat learns to walk with new bionic rear feet.

Also LOVE – she’s sold out of them right now, but I may need some of these merit badges. Hee.

Did you know we recently celebrated the 30th Anniversary of Airplane?! Surely I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue! Related: think you know the movie pretty well? Take this quiz!

Woman in hospital gets wrong let amputated – seriously, one of my big fears should I ever go in for a surgery like that. I’m going to be the one with the magic marker writing all over the other limb “NOT THIS ONE, JACKASS!”.

An apartment… made of bookshelves.

Sitting kitty

Reddish Brown Kitty - diagonal Reddish Brown Kitty - face

Reddish Brown Kitty - side

Project: Little sitting kitten

Technique: Glazed in a reddish brown

For Sale: Yes! Soon!

Notes: I originally made this about 20 years ago (seriously; the bottom says “1990″, and that makes me feel rather old) and then about ten years ago packed it in a box where it remained until now. It’s time to pass it on to a new home.

Here’s one for Sharon – two-headed kitty, born in West Virginia!

Famous Hollywood movie sets… in miniature!

So awesome – pin-up girl calendar… in x-ray!

I live in an odd town; a good portion of the locals move away as soon as they graduate, as do a good portion of people who come here only for college. Where do they go? This interactive map will show you (or show you where people are moving to your city from, or where they’re leaving to).

Thanks to Alanis Morissette (and I may be spelling her name wrong, but whatevs), I get crap every time I use the phrase “that’s ironic”; something I said for years before That Song. Here’s a funny look at the three most common uses of irony.

Speaking of irony; armless woman named best embroiderer in her village.

I expect, once I start selling ceramics, to get questions like this.

Some stories you just can’t make up: A culinary argument between a brother and sister about whether to use butter or margarine turned violent, resulting in an attack with a knife-edged barbecue spatula.

Bwahaha! Why I shouldn’t carry an air horn. Awesome.

This has been around already, but… who needs rock-paper-scissors when you could be playing monkey-pirate-robot-ninja-zombie?!
