So I asked Alan if my squishy looked like a rabbit?

And he said: yes except what’s with the tail? Why is it so long?

He was talking about the one leg I made.

I laughed so hard. I was literally rolling all over the floor and every single time I tried to explain that it was a leg and not a long tail I would just start laughing again.

Today on Purling Swine I saw that it is De-Lurking Day. What’s De-Lurking Day? Well a lurker is someone who reads a site but never comments. So De-Lurking Day is your chance to say hi!

Or as it says on Paper napkin:
I know you’re out there. My stats tell me you’re out there. And today you have a once in a lifetime chance to let your presence be known.

Well, okay, technically you have that chance everyday, but today is De-Lurking Day! A special day celebrating lurkers, and exhorting you to muster the strength and bravery to click on that comment button and end the deafening silence.

So go ahead…say hello! I dare you. I double dog dare you.

Today I got the call saying congratulations I got the job! And after that I peed on a stick that said I was pregnant! It’s a great day today!

My Squishy is all knit up and he needs a face. He is looking very lopsided, as a result of some more late night knitting. His right arm is noticeably shorter then his left arm. I think I will have to keep him. I’m afraid his little flaws (or as Thuy calls them, character building elements) will only be endearing to me. I’m thinking if I give him to someone they may be afraid of him. Like he’s some weird mutant bunny. And once he’s done I will make a non mutant bunny for my friend.

This week’s Illustration Friday is disaster relief. I found this a very hard subject. Trying to think about something to draw was heart wrenching. Sometimes I think the news is a bad thing. I tried to watch as little of it as possible. Sometimes I feel as if terrible images batter one’s soul. So for this subject I tried to think of something that would lead to positive action.

I just took a look at some of the other illustrations up. I really liked Papunella Broust. That one moved me to tears, the expression on the faces and they way they’re holding each other.
