Figuring out the placement of my quilt squares.  This is a dry run: A Trap shawl.  Whoever invented self-striping yarn is a supreme genius. Reading: I'm also reading a biography of Hermann Rorshach. Playing online WordWars, in the last week, I've had these tiles.  I promise --- this is just how they landed:

 A sort-of-recently finished jigsaw puzzle: I moved it into a side table in the den so it could lay flat while I decided what exactly to do with.  Honestly?  I kind of like it there.  It's like a doily, but of unusual size. And another sort-of-recently thing: A BLT with non-meat bacon.  Once I got past it looking like artisan soap. . .  It tasted pretty good.

Ted Cruz knows Elmo's a puppet, right?    He's picked a fight with a puppet.  Also, good on the  NRA Children's Museum for making its exhibit easily accessible to Ted: driving to his home. Well, this was inevitable.  And the UGA students aren't even back in town yet. Would you rather be "hip" or "cool"?

Seven Entries

It seemed sort of weird to use a number generator when there are only seven entries, but that's what I said I'd do, so. . .  The winner is  Meredith!    She left the very first response!  Thanks to the others of you who got involved --- I truly appreciate it.  Meredith, if you'll e-mail me your address, I'll put together your prize package and send it on its way.

2000 Contest Ends Tonight. Winner Announced Tomorrow.

Title as post. 

No, Really --- You Might Win Some Stuff

If you enter my "2000 Contest," you could win.  I have things for knitters and non-knitters.  Just let me know what you would like 2000 of.  (Except dollars.  No dollars.)  Leave your answer in any of the comments sections since the contest was announced. I'm really itching to cast a new project on, but can't come to a decision on what it should be.  I may just go with washcloths / kitchen towels because I have so much yet.
