In Which There Are Flora & Fauna
Lately I am a bit in love with these two things:
Keyboard and Cress, originally uploaded by wetwebwork.
There is that string of keyboards I've laid waste to over the years, sitting in the basement. Perhaps it's time for them to be useful again, this time as a sprout garden? (I mean, these fold-out postcard gardens are charming and all, playing to my architecture fetish too, but the paper is going to decay so fast. Why not reuse what I've got?)

Brella's Hot Water Platypus [rav]
A hot water bottle is an economical and environmentally friendly way to keep your toes or lap warm during cold winter nights. But who wants a rubbery old thing in his or her bed, even if it is nice and warm? Cover it up with a cuddly platypus cozy-because if there’s anything weirder than a platypus, it’s a platypus in your bed!
I am trying to think of something weirder than a platypus in my bed, and am failing. Clearly Brella is onto something here. I'm imagining it in chenille, which in theory would be great-if I had ever encountered a chenille that didn't bleed dye like it was going out of style, the moment it got the tiniest bit damp. And then I remember other things about working with chenille, like how it's impossible to tension, and has no elasticity, and sheds in great clumps of fibre and and and. In theory: awesome, in reality: not worth the effort.
(Yes, this is a placeholder post for far more interesting things. It's been a near-panic-attack weekend for no apparent reason; somehow that gets in the way of productivity. Go figure. Be distracted by knitted monotremes instead!)
