where did Pat get his hotness?

from Dad!

kinda like the venus flytrap - watch

that tall purple one grew out of 100% cotton and is fully functional as a dish scrubber.

I'm considering submitting these to the Crocheted Heart Challenge.

kidneywi are a treat for any meal.  they taste like a fresh tropical fruit mixed with beans, like that oh so tasty Japanese red bean paste.  yum.

spine of the kidneywi

it's the last part to form before it's born.

for scale - yes, a kidneywi would probably fit in the palm of your hand

shapelock is this wonderful new product just out on the market that is malleable at warm temperatures that most hands can tolerate. then, when it cools, it becomes hard. AND you can reheat it to reshape it and make it into something else when you're done using it in its current shape.

so, I visit a friend of mine who has just bought a 1-lb bag.  I see he's used it to cap his half empty bottle of wine.

then I see he's fancily held his toast tongs together with a strip of the stuff.

and then next to some paper plates, a can of beans, a plant, a Fry's receipt and his glasses, I notice a part of the body that I usually crochet is shaped out of his new favorite material.

we have a short anatomy lesson that it's missing a bit. I don't think he did that on purpose, thankfully, but I am consciously choosing not to analyze further what that might mean. I'll settle with this shape being much easier to construct.  yeah, that's what it was.

but I digress.  well, ok, if i were to make badges, those are the kinds of messages they would portray.

thank you, Mary, for paving the way!

clever! what fun! first I thought the artist actually had some specially angled tiny knife to carve the top layer of paper from the inside of the roll and stand it up.  but now I think it's done in a slightly more possible way.

more!

and just a tad illegal.

my mother claimed that you should not hold back your bowel movement or else this

from Andrea Dezsö's, Lessons from my Mother. very gutsy x 2. I like.

I love the idea. to me, though, the dick looked like a bunch of pink pillows until he sat down. then I wondered - once anything gets past a certain size, does everything kinda look off or grotesque or not what it is - or just confusing?
