spot the spurtle
Yeah, it’s called spot the spurtle. What? You think that’s lame? Wanna make something of it? Oh, sorry. I’m reading Black Swan Green right now, and there’s a lot of scrapping of the school boy variety going on. This has me both fearing for Doodle’s impending adolescence (okay, it’s not that impending) and, just kind of, wanting to give someone a grundy.
Anyway, this was supposed to be last week’s drawing, but I ended up working on it here and there all week. Between Thanksgiving and two family birthdays, there’s been a lot of baking/cooking/general Marthaishness going on this October. Bring on the Hallowe’en costumes and Christmas knitting (French press cozies all around)! Domesticity overload! Maybe that should have been the title…
PS – thanks to Lauren, who requested this subject
PPS – thanks to Dr. T for going on about spurtles
PPPS – um, how is it that nobody has ever used the word Marthaishness online before?

I’ve been knitting/thinking about knitting a lot lately. I’m trying to finish this stuuupid scarf that I started Iwon’tadmithowmany years ago so that I can get onto my Christmas aspirations. Maybe I should just start now for Christmas 2010. I’ll fake sick this year or something.
Anyway, I’ve also been thinking about sheep, while holding their once was wooliness in my hands. I figure that I’ll move to a farm one day and start a retirement home for sheep so that they don’t get muttonized. Really, it’s the least I can do, considering all they’ve done for me. Thanks, sheep.
