Kind of deformed!
animal (other than pets)? I love Capybaras. World's largest rodent. I want one as a pet, but apparently I can't have one even though this random person on google image has one!
Baker- I'm jealous of your mixer!
Rock- An African safari sounds amazing!!
Andrea:
1) LOL at "hurting" your Marc Jacobs bag!
2) I love that you added that window to your kitchen. I bet it was worth losing those couple of cabinets for it.
3) I didn't know you knit! I think your animals are cute, they don't look remotely deformed! Please post more pics of your stuff, I'd love to see. And come hang out on the Crafts board; they're really nice ladies and so talented! And I promise my projects are not perfect, I'm just good at hiding flaws in pictures
4) Um, capybaras freak me out. Too giant rat/beaver looking.

animal (other than pets)? i couldn't really think of one but i thought this baby seal was pretty cute!
Thanks Rock and Punky! We actually broke into what is now J's bedroom, so the kitchen is much bigger than it was before. That's how we ended up with the window... And we have a lot more cabinets than we did before because it's bigger. I don't know why I don't have any pics of the whole kitchen, just that one corner!
Capybaras basically ARE giant rats, but I think they're cute for some reason! Maybe because I always had guinea pigs as a kid?
When I ever have time to get back to knitting, I'll post more. I'm a chronic project starter... I have a million projects going that I haven't finished! Now I want to start sewing.
Punky- You need to get that stroller! You deserve it!
