Cute Things

John Poses with Luvgun

About a year ago, I suffered an epic hard drive crash that made me lose tons of files. Among those lost were some good photos of Luvgun. Sad! John recently agreed to a quick photo shoot with everyone’s favorite knitted gun to replace the lost files, and I ended up liking the new photos much better than the originals!

Here are some of my favorite shots. They go from James Bondian to… something else entirely.

Thank you for modeling, John!

I’m also psyched about the series coming back soon.

Look Cats!

Hey look we have cats!

tuckerzissou

Their names are Tucker and Zissou, and they’re brothers who are almost identical. They are John’s brother’s cats, and they’re staying with us for a couple of months while he relocates.

They are so cute and fun! Zissou loves playing with twist ties (specifically the big kind that hold together electronics cables), sitting in laps, and sleeping on plastic bags. Tucker loves playing with rubber bands (specifically cloth-covered hair bands), getting brushed, and sleeping in piles of socks.

I wish we could keep them forever! But they are also great trial kitties, and they’ve been so much fun that now we are sure that we want to get cats of our own sometime very soon.

Tiny Tin

Finding neat things you had forgotten you had is fun.

I just re-discovered this cute little Aranzi Aronzo tin that I got in Japan last year.

And I also discovered that it makes the perfect stitch marker holder!

No longer will my stitch markers be spilling all over the floor every time I get one out to use. At least that is my hope.

Blueberry Garden

Has anyone played Blueberry Garden?

I have not heard super-great things about this indie game, unfortunately, but the art is pretty cute.

It’s a $5 download for Windows.
