Boris

Here is my final Crazy January start, Plum Street Sampler's Boris, which I am stitching on a slightly darker fabric (I think it calls for Light Exemplar and I'm stitching on regular Exemplar) with the called for colors. It's really intriguing how much this animal resembles Stella. I'm going to change the striped socks Boris has to white toes and make his tail curl like hers.

Here is Stella seeing how much of the couch she can take up while wearing her winter weight. Girlfriend gets faaaat once the weather cools down. In the summer, she is less interested in food. Probably because she spends all that time in her bikini. We're going to have to talk to the vet about what to do.

This weekend I was happy to throw a moustache party for my niece's 13th birthday family celebration. She wanted moustache cupcakes. I went to pinterest, but all I could really find were paper moustache cake toppers. I wanted something more integral to the cupcake. I found a candy mold for moustache lollipops and made them in chocolate and peanut butter flavors. I was going to stick the lollipops into the cupcakes, but the way the stick is offset, no matter how short I made the stick, the cupcake couldn't support it. I thought about cutting the sticks off but the dude said it would be more fun to have lollipops. And he was right.

I went whole hog. I bought moustaches for everyone to wear. I bought her a moustache cookie cutter and moustache paper from Paper Source to use for our craft day, which I put in a bag that I added a paper moustache to.

The fascination that girls this age have with  moustaches is perplexing to say the least. (Don't think it's a trend? Search "moustache" on amazon. Moustache mood ring? Hot pink socks with little moustaches?) But she's a teenager now, I guess we aren't supposed to understand!
