Isn't he adorable? I think he was worth the effort. He's really a lot of fun to carry around. I admit I haven't finished his drawstring yet, but it's a lot of i-cord when I'd much rather be knitting lace, cables and socks.
I am lamenting the wind today. It uprooted all three of my heirloom melon seedlings that were doing so beautifully. Re-planting is a part of gardening, doesn't mean I have to like it.

I shouldn't have made it

But I so wanted caramel! The little martini shot glass made a perfect serving vessel, elegant, no more than a few spoonfuls. Yes, I was eating it straight with a spoon. No apples or even crackers. Just a lovely little glass, filled with decadent golden goo, to be licked from whatever utensil was handy. It did make me feel better, especially when eaten curled up in bed watching movies I love. Definitely worth it.

Let the sewing begin!

Doesn't this scream Goth housewife? Such a happy print in such dark colors, I love the combination very much. It's the first on the rather long Must Sew list. I've been busy trying to knit up a laundry list of items before mid-June. I keep paring down the list hoping to make it more achievable, but it was really an extensive list to begin with. Sewing is a bit more instant gratification than knitting, so maybe this list of things to make will go just a bit faster. Fingers crossed!
