Salt and pepper shaker made in Germany. cute,ay? I like their little mohawks. Also, I like how the pic came out, very vintage looking, the "cool" light from the window tinted everything blue.

Here is the softie of Robosquider that I've been working on. It took me way over 10 hours to make! My robosquider makin' days are over! I hope you like it :)

Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Snow Bunny was sold and is moving to Pennsylvania! So I guess the love affair with Metal Mouse has to come to an end (softies don't like long distance relationships). The sad part is I truly convinced myself that they were a couple and was offering free shipping to anyone who would buy them together! (sniffle)

I'm going to pieces!

Right now I am working on my next softie- a creature from my boyfriend's comic The Adventures of Bio Boy. It is taking me forever! So tedious, arg..

Not very successful as you can see,the only one that came out close is Specimen C. I am not very good at crocheting things the same. I will probably keep trying till I get the formula down perfect.

Professor Wisdo M. Tooth's lecture to the molars on the nature of the tooth fairy.

I found this Chinese proverb today- A man who asks is a fool for five minutes. A man who never asks is a fool for life.

It goes perfectly with today's illustration entry.
