Kat, I am stockpiling ornament craft ideas (mac will make a new ornament each year for our tree). This year I made two gift bags using plain white lunch bags and cutting up old Christmas cards.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm so craftarded. But I was nearly seduced by the cutting tool I've seen advertised on television ad nauseum recently. It cuts pretty, decorative edges for scrapbooking, as well as perf edges. And it lights up! All for $19.95 plus s&h.
Our weather forecast is calling for six more inches of snow on Friday. WTF? We've got at least 14 inches on the ground already. When we moved up here, people were telling us how mild the winters have been and how the snow mobile trails have barely been open more than a week for the last several years. Now we get a lot of early snow and it just keeps coming.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Here's something crafty that I could do: 161. Latch Hook Skull I like that it was made from two latch-hook puppy kits:
I bought a pre-existing latch hook kit of a puppy and made my own pattern using the yarn colors provided. Since the color proportions weren't exactly the same I got a second kit to have the extra yarn. I made the pattern in Photoshop by reducing a photo I took to 40 x 40 pixels and then saving it as an 8-color gif (with manually adjusted the colors to reflect the existing yarn). I enlarged the result and printed it out and then used it to determine each strand as I went. The total production time was around 9 hours (which I believe makes it the most time consuming piece yet) and actually gave me a migraine headache near the end, which I had to sleep off before I could complete it!

Hapy Birthday Jesse and Theo!!
I had bizarre dreams last night, thanks to seeing Juno---after a strange dream about working in a freaky office, I dreamt I was pregnant, adn gave the baby to Plei.

I dreamt I was pregnant, adn gave the baby to Plei.
I misread that as gave birth to baby Plei.

Me too, Sue! In my head, it was like, "the baby Jesus" only Plei instead of Jesus.

I just spent the last 5 days overeating, so I'm thinking about a salad.
I mean, it'll be a salad the size of my head, but at least it will have vegetables.
