ball of yarn?
You could knit a mittenNote that I've posted this well in advance of Christmas, so you knitters out there get clacking. More pictures and the pattern here.
J-Walk Blog had this picture up today by way of introduction to a site called Strange Dolls. Strange indeed, if not something out of a horror movie. I checked it out, and actually many of the dolls are quite attractive. I tried to download one of the photos, only to find that whoever designed the site disabled right-mouse clicking. When you right-click the message below pops up.
Why do people do this? Taking one photograph off a site surely qualifies as fair use, especially since I'm providing information that my readers might find intriguing enough to click through on it. Maybe she'll even make a sale or two -- it's called free advertising.
In any event, defeating right-click blocking is child's play. Here's three or four methods of doing so. As I already had Paint Shop Pro running, I simply screencapped the page, pasted it in and clipped the picture out.
And here it is. Someday you'll thank me for this, Beth Robinson.
Neglected to pick up that Thanksgiving turkey, did you? Fear not: For the price of a free Acrobat Reader, some brown paper, and a bit of folding and pasting, this handsome example of turkitude can grace your table. Guaranteed to contain no calories, nor sleep-inducing tryptophan.
(On legal advice, you are strongly advised not to cook the "bird." There is little danger of salmonella poisoning. Depending on where you got the paper, of course.)
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that the innumerable readers of this fine blog are of exceptional idleness and indolence, at least when we survey their ad-clicking activity.
So I have decided to give you lazy sods no excuse for not preparing this ghoulish decoration* in plenty of time for Halloween. If you start now, you should have quite an impressive pile of rotting orange-colored stuff to put out on the doorstep come Oct. 31.
(*No, I have no idea why it has a guitar. Consider it optional.)
