    Huang is proving to Americans that even in a bad economy, if you have some AquaNet, and a dream, you can still achieve home-ownership.

    I really admire the results, but can't help feeling that this is a little gross. And I have a very, very high grossout threshold.

    So THAT's what I can do with the piles of dog hair that come floating off my dog and coat every available surface. I could start with the Summer Palace, but I could probably get a whole Great Wall out of him.

    If you want to make adorable owls, go with amigurumi! It's pretty easy to learn to crochet, and I made a whole family of little owls for my goddaughter.

    @Lilah: Those are adorable. I've been doing the amigurumi thing lately. Most recent project: a space/robot quartet for my friend's 3-year-old. I, of course, forgot to take pictures of them, but here is another example: [www.etsy.com]]=tags&includes[]=title


    Now I have to figure out who would like one of those adorable owls...

    Its eyes glow -- not with the wisdom one would expect from owl, but with an un-earthy light.


    It will soon take flight. It will take its perch, spread its mighty wings and ask --


    WHO will join me?


    WHO will rise up


    and WHO among you feathered creatures


    will joined my winged minions


    and WHO shall destroy


    The humans before us?


    WHO? WHO? WHO?


    It shall then swoop down, rip the neck out of a innocent passerby -- perhaps a an child, or an elderly priest or nun -- and take wing, a trail of blood dripping from its owly fangs.


    Silhouetted against the full moon -- again it asks -- WHO?


    Then, my friends, we shall have make use of all those old Cold War bomb shelters.

    i thought most people who did macrame were laid-back earthy types. and yet someone actually took the head of E.T. and turned it into a hardcore craft.
