Housekeeping
Today the dog is my best friend. A sudden cold landed me home sick, so I am here to let her out to take the air, and to chase cats, and to let her back in so she can take naps next to me on the chair. Since I am home, and don’t really have…

That’s my Picture!
Happy Things: 1. This photo of my skein of Twisted Sisters yarn bought on absolute sale and modeled in my lucky tooth mug (won at a guess-how-many-teeth-on-the-table contest in my Dental Anthropology course) was chosen as one of the Ravelry images for the Avarice.

Week 12: Happiness is a Warm Puppy
Sin dudo. This is Stella, and although happiness is undoubtedly a warm puppy, the little angel has caused a minor derailment of basically everything. Case in point: those Christmas socks? On hold for an entire weekend because the poor baby needed something to keep her warm outside. Warm Puppy (or dog) Cape:Just over 1 skein…
