A Hairy Snuggle

I finished this "ripple pattern" scarf made from alpaca yarn I found in Half Moon Bay. If you could reach through the screen and touch this thing, I guarantee you'd want a bodysuit made from this delectable yarn. It feels like a little baby bunny snuggled around my neck.

Unfortunately, it sort of looks like that too--everytime I wear this scarf, my shirt ends up looking like I have a heard of cats at home. I'm not sure what's less icky: walking around covered in the hair of your pet, or walking around covered in the hair of an animal you've never met or seen?

A Feather In My Cap

The recipe for a perfect craft: felt, a barrette, feathers, a rhinestone piece of fanciness and a ton of hot glue. What's not to like about that? My crafty cousin, Kim, taught me how to make these awesome feather hair do-das while I was in Portland recently. They're perfect to put on a fedora or straight onto your noggin like an exotic bird.
