For some reason, these sorts of conversations happen to me all the time. I'm sitting in the dojo or at the park or in the play area of Chic-Fil-A, working on my latest evil project, and a mom I don't know will ask, "So, what are you working on?" Fortunately, these conversations never last long...

I have not made a voodoo doll exactly. I did crochet a zombie and then a ninja, both of which I believe I've shown off here in the blog. Right now, I'm sewing a felt pillow/creature for Princess - a one-eyed, winged heart doll. It's based on a little doodle I often like to draw. Princess is also sewing these days, making a heart dolly of her own for Pixie. Nobody is quite sure what Pixie is doing, but here is her latest artistic effort.

Apparently one of these figures is me with blood on my teeth, one of these figures is the Hubster with blood on his teeth, one of these is Pixie with blood on her teeth, and the shortest character is a baby with blood on its teeth. We've been talking about adopting a third child, and Pixie very much wants a baby sister. Princess was very upset not to be in this family portrait.

BTW, today's cartoon also features my best friend Mary. I've known Mary since I was 11, which means I've now known her 30 years. Kind of scary. Mary knows pretty much everything about me, and yes, she would enjoy watching me give someone a heart attack and as a nurse, she's more than qualified to perform CPR on my victims. Love ya, Mary!
