Coffee and a Monster


My husband and I went to New York state about a month ago to visit family. I think Josh ended up taking this photo at some point during the trip. We can't get Dunkin Donuts in Minnesota so even looking at a picture of a cup of coffee is nice. Yum!

And then I've got a custom Stripesaurus for Ronna here. She requested blue and green stripes and here he is.


Long live the Stripesaurus!

Branching Out

Occasionally, I read things that can be found outside of a children's book section. And sometimes these books are also outside of the Science Fiction and Fantasy section. One such book I am reading is work related for a book club thing at my store. The fun thing is that it is also about something else I am quite taken with.

The book is Kate Jacobs' The Friday Night Knitting Club. So far I am enjoying it and I am actually looking forward to finishing it and reading her other books.

I also thought you might want to see my newest gremlin. His name is Artie and he is an artichoke gremlin. Basically his little coat is full of little pockets and one of them has a little crocheted heart in it. Artie is really shy and likes to spend most of his time in his coat.


But when you get a look inside you see that he is really handsome. I try to tell him this ten times a day to help build his self esteem. It might be working because he is smiling for the photograph.

Ode to Rats

Rats are wonderful creatures that can make sweet lovable pets. As an ode to rats I have crocheted one. In my opinion this is my best rat yet, though I haven't yet named her. Any thoughts on what I should call her?
