1.  I'm a bit of a sci-fi  fan -- pencil me in for a good Star Trek, Battle Star Galactica or Doctor Who show any time.  So I'm familiar with these baddies from decades of battles with The Doctor..



As I was washing up some of the kids' drink bottles, I spotted this formation and for a split second I thought there might be a tiny plastic invasion force in my kitchen....


Well, they totally amused me. 

2.  On a completely different note, we had our own Spinning Olympics at the Genesee Valley Spinning Guild meeting last Saturday.  I competed in the "spinning while balancing a Golden book on your head" event. 


 And won the bronze metal sheep!  Let's hear it for good posture payoff !


DD#1 competed in and had an excellent showing in the "spin while blindfolded" event.

(That is actually quite difficult and her yarn was even despite not being able to see it.)

3. Here is the latest addition to our family...


"I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him. ..."

(Actually it's some lovely fiber that is destined to become another pair of warm rustic socks for DH.)

4.  And have you ever seen a cuter Harry Potter?


(Wish I could say I made the vest.)
