Slowest Knitter in the World

Being the slowest knitter on earth (yes, I know others are vying for this title, but you will just have to trust me on this), I am still plugging away, half-heartedly, on my knitting KAL project: pirate queen's booty bag. I have recently finished the base! (see what I mean? slow as molasses) As I am also vying for the title of shortest attention span knitter, it has gotten very hard to keep plugging away on this sloooow project. Which is also plugging up all the future projects still jumping around with enthusiasm in my brain. On the other hand, this is the first year I've been knitting year round successfully, so I gotta give myself some kudos...

Speaking of distractions, however, working on opening my own Etsy store called Wabbicats. All is ready, except for the stock, of course. Other life concerns are dragging me away from (hopefully) profitable beading. One of those being a new fascination with iPods and their innards. Recently bought and fixed a broken one, resold it for 100% markup on Ebay. Have 3 more broken ones on order and I hope to have as much luck with them as my first. Feels so good to be an Ebay seller!

Bunny news: happy bunnies! Ms. Brown Ears (Star) is pen bound and getting a bit down, but still flippy earred and boingy when Mom comes home and offers cuddles. Licorice is the happiest I have seen him in a long time. He dances, he hops back and forth over his cardboard tunnel, he nose bonks, snuffles, and nibbles at my ankles before darting away flicking his flirty ears. What a happy boy! Star's shed is finally slowing down, so she's not my little hedgehog anymore. She's very glad I've stopped calling her that, I can tell you. You'd never guess these two are 7 years old.
