Hello new friend!

Yesterday I got a new friend.

He's based on this drawing from my good friend Bret. (Check out his book! I'm excited for a collection of his car paintings, they're gorgeous!)


I love him! I think he's so cute. Debating whether or not I should name him.


I've also been crocheting. Kitty has been my unfortunate quality tester for baby hats.

"I'm Link. And I hate you."


Ooooh apparently, this is my 299th post. I think I should do something special for 300! Hmm maybe a contest. We'll have to see :) Oh! And I put up a post about Afterthought heels over on TWIK.

Extravaganza stuff part 2 aka mom don't kill me.

So as you all know, yesterday was Halloween, but since I look forward to this particular holiday as an excuse to show off my geekiness at work, I dressed up on Friday.

I'm a Hobbit!! (Or as one of my facebook friends said, I'm dressed up for Firefly of the Rings)



Here's my fuzzy feet. I knit them with Red Heart and fun fur!

As I posted yesterday, that night we went to see Rocky Horror, and I went to bed with the music stuck in my head! I like the music, but when you're exausted its a bit annoying and I didn't sleep well.
But when you wake up with this face looking at you, its hard to be grumpy.


Poor Tripsie is in the background sneezing (I think her misery is part of why Kitty seems so content).



After I got ready, I headed out and then stared at this for about 2 hours.


Everyone, meet Aaron.
Aaron is my Tattoo guy! His wife is one of my friends from work, and he's done all my ink.


This picture was taken right after we finished. I emailed it to Hubs, and then when I showed it to him in person he was overcome with relief. Apparently, it doesn't look so great (and looks huge) in that picture, so hopefully
is a better one (despite the shine). My dragon is about 3 inches long in the face. I think it only looks big because I have tiny arms.

the wings go all the way around my arm :)

If you're in the area and are at all interested in a tattoo please check them out. Aaron has opened his own store!

His prices are great and he does awesome work. The shop is very clean and is GORGEOUS (I may be swayed by the purple wall and big screen tv...)

This afternoon we're going to our nephew's 1st birthday party. I feel kind of bad I didn't knit him anything, but I spent most of the last 2 weeks working on those hobbit feet and now I'm getting back onto my mini mochi socks :)
I hope everyone enjoys their extra hour today. Later!

Movies and random weird ideas!

Last night Sam and I watched the new animated Dragonlance movie. Its based on the first book, Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I really enjoyed it, and can't wait for the next one when Kitiara starts kicking ass!

Also had an idea for a possible new tatto - needs some explanation though. I currently have a tattoo on my right shoulder:


Now, when I went to San Diego Con (almost two years ago *sniffle*) a man asked me if it was meant to represent the Isle of Man, because of this coin:

Well, I explained that it wasn't, though I can see the similarity, as I'm assuming it all is based on the Celtic Triskele.
Well, when I was googling last night for the Isle of Man foot thing, I found this!!


So now, I can has 2 tattoos based on Isle of Man coins.
Also last night, I had a weird flash of inspiration.... I think I might try to cut up my old shower curtain, which was VERY PRETTY... and.. knit with it!
