food, crochet, merriment
I grew up in L. A. and in case you didn’t know–we didn’t get any snow there.
In fact, when we would read about other kids making snowmen or shoveling snow we would all just laugh.
We know-it-all First Graders were perfectly sure that someone had made all that up. Snow wasn’t real. HA! How ridiculous.
I positively LOVE snow now. My family moved here on purpose so that we could have all four magical, beautiful seasons.
Now if the weather would just cooperate…that’d be swell.
Sheesh.
A few years back, my son played a game called Hollow Knight. He would play, I would read or crochet or work on a puzzle.
What I didn’t actually want to do very often was to…look up. The game gave me the creeps. Not for any violent or evil thing going on. It was actually pretty tame in that way.
But the music was sad and creepy and there were a lot of bugs. Tons of worms and centipedes and assorted crawly things–many much bigger than I was comfortable with. Perhaps I haven’t shared with you how I feel about bugs.
Perhaps I have.
Barf-o-rama.
ANYway, the hero of this game was a little white rabbitty looking dude with a sword that I was ok with. Rhen loved the game so much that out of the blue, I decided to make him this little fella.
Quite pleased with myself if I’m honest.
That is, until my son thanked me for making Knight… the big, white…
beetle.
*gag*
This was a REALLY fun puzzle to do. You may not think so because it looks terrifically hard.
However it was another one of those cheater puzzles with the alphabet letters on the back.
That made it waaaaay easier.
Good thing, cause it was beautiful!
Another beautiful year ahead with all these lovely people.
I am soooo blessed.
Happy New Year Friends!
Yesterday it was just a plain-old, simple, green plant.
Today, we wake up to bright red and pink flowers ALLL over the place!
And now, my lovelies, we know why it’s called the Christmas Cactus.
Clever little thing.
