Notes: How did I forget to blog about this? I finished it like six weeks ago. It’s a model for the shop, to inspire people to take a class.

Last week was pretty busy; did I forget to post one last Friday? Ah well; if you missed it you would have said something, I suppose!
The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.

What if Lost was a show that had been done in 1967? The opening credits might look something like this.

Ahhhh, mashups! Tilt-shift meets time-lapse, on the streets of New York. LOVE!

I’m sure many of you have already seen this, but OK Go has an amazing Rube Goldberg set-up for this video; I almost couldn’t tell you what the song was about because I was too busy watching what was going on.

I wish this was a little funnier, but… it’s good for a chuckle. William Shatner reads Shit My Dad Says.

It’s an ALL MASHUP MORNING! Mason Dixon Knitting meets Grey Gardens. Whoot!

Who knew Boba Fett could rock out the accordion like that?!

Steampunk. Leprechauns. Go. Watch. Now.

Corwin has a girlfriend – Jenn’s dog, Chloe. Chloe came over to play for about ten hours yesterday, and actually wound up tiring Cori. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?! Mostly they run around the back yard, playing tug, destroying toys, kicking up dust, and humping each other. But I got a few almost quiet, almost snuggly shots from the rare moments of somewhat quiet indoors (no humping photos. Although there was plenty of opportunity. Those two should get a room!).
1. A moment of quiet, 2. wanna play? wanna play? wanna play?, 3. I’m getting yooooooou, 4. Almost calming down

For Sale: No
Notes: He’s had a hard life! I made him in the late 80’s or so, and he’s got a couple of chips, a hole in his back, and he’s missing a thumb. But he keeps on smiling (a lesson to us all…?).

Awesome Regretsy mailbag post; most will not be funny unless you’re a long-time reader… except for the gumball clown, which is just funny (and evil).

I swear, even though I was just bitching about the grocery store bagger asking if I was going to make cake, when all I was buying was … things to make cakes… this is not me.

I think I just peed a little – Zombie Disney Cosplay!

Possibly little-known fact about me: I have never had a broken bone. But if I ever DO break an arm or leg, I totally want a Casttoo!

More fun with typography!

Slightly stereotypical, but still cute – Sexy Librarian embroidery.

Today looked like such a beautiful day that I brought my camera with me while walking Backup Dog. One of these will eventually be the photo of the day, I’m just not sure which one yet – I can’t choose! Votes welcome.
1. 21, 2. 20, 3. 19, 4. 18, 5. 17, 6. 16, 7. 15, 8. 14, 9. 13, 10. 12, 11. 11, 12. 10, 13. 09, 14. 08, 15. 07, 16. 06, 17. 05, 18. 04, 19. 03, 20. 02, 21. 01
I think it’s really funny that it loaded them all backwards. Also, #01 and #02 are really snuck in from yesterday – I couldn’t resist!
