What the...

I can only assume that I can't receive comments on the snail post because of the video, although momentarily I was able to see one the other day. Weird and annoying. If I were any kind of computer person, I would write a program for my own blog (and share it with the world) and not have to rely on someone else's, but as you might guess, if I can't even figure out how to make it show comments, I am not skilled enough to write it. Oh well. Here is a picture to pacify you in the mean time:

Hungry yet?

I'm ready for Thanksgiving. I plan to eat my weight in creamy mashed potatoes and brown gravy. A turkey leg will be just fine...make that one for each hand. Sweet potatoes and stuffing and cranberries, oh my. You can keep your green beans, unless they are made with cream o' something and covered in french fried onions. I'll take some pumpkin pie, and some pecan pie, and apple if it's available. Baby dill pickles, and pickled okra are a staple, but black olives, I hate you, stay off my plate. Forgiving pants are a must, so are slip on shoes, because I won't be able to bend at the waist after this momentous day. I'll be running double distance until March to make up for my thankfulness and I could care less. I. Can't. Wait. And I hope it is a joyous (and stuffed) day for you too!

Snail Tales

Could this be any cuter? I found these over here and made one last night, in no time at all. Nothing slow about it. I am thinking of putting some strong magnets inside them and giving them as little teacher gifts for Christmas. I suspect that most teachers don't need another coffee mug or a candle, so I thought that I would make these little things useful and give them with hot cocoa mix. I'm planning on making some mitten ornaments as well. He looks a little wonky here, but it is just the angle. It was so simple to make, and uses next to no yarn...go make some for yourself, it is so easy and the result is beyond satisfying.

And just for fun, and in keeping with the snail theme:

Ever feel like doing this?
