I made this!  I stayed up so late last night finishing it (and watching 8 1/2 for no reason) that I was hungry by the time I went to bed.  Wild crafting life~

Still need to finish my mom’s present and need to stop being terrible at knitting.  I never actually get better at it, just better at hiding my many mistakes.

(also I am aware that I look like that blonde dog from The Lady and the Tramp)

Knitting + a female dandy?  These ladies was preparing for my arrival a century early.

An escaped sheep was found with 60 pounds of wool.

Shrek the sheep ran away and hid in a cave in New Zealand for 6 years. When Shrek was finally found in 2004, the sheep had gone unsheared for so long that it had accumulated 60 pounds of wool on its body, enough to make 20 suits! The sheep became famous and even got to meet the Prime Minister. Shrek finally passed away last month at the age of 16.

I read this story to my mom and she goes, “I thought you were going to say a Navy SEAL team went in and killed him.”  Because caves.
