Don’t you hate it when you’re a zombie, and you know your arm isn’t so securely attached to your body but you go ahead and do some jumping jacks anyway?

I hate that too.

Tiny Dung Beetle

Winning caption by Tracy:
Tiny dung beetle is color blind, he just wants to make a snowman.

And now for something completely different… a tiny dung beetle!

I’ve never met one in person, but I imagine they’re a pretty down-to-earth bunch.

Let’s have a tiny dung beetle caption contest! Leave your caption for this little guy in the comments, and we’ll pick our favorite on Monday. The winner will get the Tiny Fantasy Patterns!

(Bonus points if your caption is both funny AND tasteful!)

The Infestation

When we moved into our Brooklyn apartment a couple years ago, it seemed perfect: quiet, spacious, and close to the park. But no apartment is perfect, and as it turns out, this one has a serious pest problem. I don’t want to gross you out, but I think it’s important to raise awareness about tiny gnome infestations.

First I found them in the kitchen playing with the toaster.

I thought it was a one-time thing, but then I discovered they had gotten into my cereal. Yuck!

When I found them in my desk drawer, I knew this problem wasn’t going away.

In fact, they seem to be making a special effort to do naughty things.

I can’t even wear my favorite shoes anymore.

Now that they’re using our toilet as a swimming pool, I’m thinking it’s time to just move out.

I admit that I may be to blame for our tiny gnome problem—it’s possible that a couple of gnomes that I knitted escaped into the walls and multiplied, but there’s really no way to trace where they came from. The point is that you should get your home checked for tiny gnomes today, before it’s too late.

Tiny Girl Scout

Today’s tiny mochi is wearing green, but she’s no leprechaun!

The Girl Scouts are celebrating their 100th anniversary this week, and having been one myself, I am proud to celebrate with them!

I have so many great memories from Girl Scouts (with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma), including the two weeks I spent at photography camp and got to use a darkroom for the first (and last) time. I vividly remember giggling in the dark with my fellow photographer scouts as we tried to remember which chemical bath did which thing.

I bet many of you also have favorite Girl Scout memories—I hope you’ll share them in the comments!

Tiny Narwhal

I’ve had unicorns on the brain lately, and that inevitably led to knitting a tiny narwhal this week!

Let’s have a tiny narwhal caption contest! Of course my question has to be be: what does he use that awesome horn for??

Leave your answer in the comments (one per person), and we’ll choose our favorite on Monday to win…
