New Year's Roundup

Today I have an odd collection of items to share with you, so I'll just stack them up and let you have a peek.

Here's a bit of silliness I made for Brian as a Christmas present. Cloudy (our parrot) can be a little grumpy with Brian at times (what can I say? she prefers me, I'm her momma), so I gave him this bit of photoshoppery as a joke. I can't claim credit for most of the artwork, it came from a BBC website. I just 'shopped Cloudy's head on the body of Gastornis. Brian laughed quite a bit. And I'm sure Cloudy would be proud to know her ancestors ran around murdering small mammals.

NH winters inspire me to finish projects to keep us warm, like this rug I started braiding for the upstairs bathroom about six months ago. It's not done yet, but it's a lot closer than it was!

I made a resolution to get a jump on next year's Christmas Cthulhu ornaments by devoting at least one day a month throughout the year just to ornaments. So I've got a pile of snowman parts to show for it so far.
