here are some random photos; the squirrel is for you, Barb.

we tasted it and it was good.

see how it's a monkey?

see the darling froggie?

tee-tiny bug in a lacy cocoon in my kitchen sink.

we relocated him.

see Barb, there's food for all, even

if you have to hang upside-down by your toes to get at it.

no, this did not come out of the lacy cocoon.

I'll try to post some knitting/making photos soon. Anyone still out there?
