crafty video game

Check out this very cute Wii game, Kirby's Epic Yarn. Kirby is a cute little pink creature in a series of games, and at the beginning of this game, an evil tomato uses a sock to turn him into a yarn ball, and then the rest of the world turns into craft supplies too. Kirby swings on buttons to jump across obstacles, pulls zippers to expose new areas and collects beads for points. The layout looks like a quilted, embroidered scrapbook. So crafty! I rented it and suspect if I buy it I won't get much done at home, it's addictive!

rescued dog dance party

I was in a bad mood tonight, repetitive strain in my fast-typing parts, and I was too tired to get to yoga but then when it was too late to get there on time I really wanted to go ... wah wah wah ... but then I came across this adorable video! Much better mood now!

OK GO is such a fun band, maybe you watched their other videos, esp Here It Goes Again, a million times on YouTube like I have.

Sometimes dogs being made to do tricks for a long time seems cruel but these pooches look joyful....am-I-right? They're all rescued dogs! And the band has a webpage supporting animal rescue.



One of the fun things I do for practicing Swedish is to count dogs when we're out walking, and try to describe them with the Swedish words I know ... so many dogs out there!

en hund, hunden är söt
två hundar, hunden är svart
tre hundar, hunden är liten


I still can't pronounce "sju" which means seven...just three letters but so tough to pronounce, you have to make a sound kind of like clearing your throat!

crispy fall weather

Happy World Vegan Day!

And Happy Birthday to Hello Kitty today! She is 35 years old. I have lots of Hello Kitty things, unfortunately I had to return this Sigg yesterday because that series was found to have BPA in the liner. I got a new one but it doesn't have kitty on it.


Yesterday was Halloween so I made a Star Trek dress to go out in. Lieutenant Pink Vegan, Library Officer on the Starship Enterprise!


I used this tutorial:



Sienna was in town and stayed with me for a few days, she did some crafty shopping!



We did lots of fun things when she was here, including the Church of Craft night of Hyperbolic Crochet:
