I know it sounds like the cat ate my homework, but really he did. He arrived here yesterday and they've been practically shutting down the island everytime he moves. And as my luck would have it he decided to move just as I was about 5 minutes away from my office. So I sat in my car on the freeway for close to 40 minutes waiting for him to finish his breakfast.
Thanks everyone for the pine cone hedgie love! I was really pleased with how they came out and that Buddy had such an easy time making them. That's his hands at work in the tutorial pics. I'm even thinking I may bring some supplies over to my Mom's on Thursday and do some hedgie making with the kids during the turkey digestion phase of the day. We missed Thanksgiving last year because Mr. T had to work and Buddy got sick so I'm keeping my fingers crossed all this week. And this year, as with every year for the past decade, I'll be making my crab and cream cheese won tons.
The Mister was nice enough to volunteer to do the Thanksgiving food shopping for me today, but I had to call him for a last minute addition of a large bag of nuts because I came across this. If you have some time you have to give this site a visit, so much to see and it totally made my day. Start here to get to the contents page, it's nuts! No really, it's nuts AND it's nuts. Love, love, love the shoes! What an incredibly talented artist.
sorry to hear about the traffic jam, we sat in that yesterday and later i figured out it was caused by HIM. boo!
mmmm...love those won tons, my friend makes them. i could eat a won ton of them. lame pun. hope everyone stays healthy this year!

I love the pine cone hedgie. Very creative!
I totally understand about the president. He was in Salt Lake City a couple of months ago. Anybody that worked downtown was late to work that day.

Hmmm,nutsuke,heh.
As I remember for the hana-batta days, walnuts make good cars and peanuts make good worms.
Fun site. Thanks for the link. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Nuts! Wow! Too bad we're allergic to nuts here or we'd be picking up some nuts too!

mr president almost made me late for an appointment in waipahu (going from my office in sand island), but i caught sight just in time and took arizona memorial cut-off, then went via pearl city...those nut and cloth shoes are adorable! Does the Mister know what the nuts are for, and that the nuts have to be cracked open 'nicely?'

Gee, he certainly gets around. The prez was in Singapore last week, and his great big motor cavalcade closing down the streets made T-bone late HOME from work. Unforgivable.
Those nuts are nuts!!! But so clever. When I was nine I always used to LOVE to make little gumnut people, using all sorts of Australian pods and seeds and googly eyes. I'd glue them on big wood chips I pilfered from the neighbours' carefully landscaped gardens.
The little porcupine guys are gorgeous.

Darn that guy, he's annoying AND Republican. No offense to Republicans...
or annoying people.
Love, love the porcupines, too cute.
