CountryMouse's Refuge

Yesterday (yes, New Year's Day!) we went to Toys R Us and got stuff. :-P Bunnicula got some Winx Club and Bratz things for hirself; we got "Mulan" and "The Triplets of Belleville" on DVD; I got some Hello Kitty rubber stamps, a FurReal Luv Cub bear (a cute little panda--I haven't played with it yet), and a little portable Lite Brite box. :-P

Then we went to GameStop and got a slew of used games! I got "Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life". I forget what the guys got. :-D I think there is a Crash Bandicoot racing game in there somewhere though. :-D Oh, Cat'r got "Silent Hill 3" and "Clock Tower 3" and something else.

So today we continued our spree (which included using gift certificates): we went to our favourite bookstore. We ate at the cafe, and then we shopped. Bunnicula got lots of manga, some books, and a best-of Cirque Du Soleil CD. I got some crochet books and magazines, a nice spiritual book called One Heart: Universal Wisdom from the World's Scriptures, and two CDs ("Eastern Energy" - Twelve Girls Band; and "Miracle" - Celine Dion). Cat'r got a couple books and Lemony Snicket's Calendar of Unfortunate Events (13 alarming months!).

Bunnicula says that was our New Year's blowout. Whew! :-)

that laprobe/lapghan for myself. It was essentially crocheted twice. I got about 3/4ths the way through and didn't like how wide I'd made it. So I frogged (rip it rip it) it down to the very foundation chain, shortened that, then started all over.

It was made holding two strands together: Caron Simply Soft Raspberry and Caron S.S. Victorian Rose. I did it in half double crochet with a P hook. After it got to the length I wanted, I did one row around the edges in HDC of two strands of the Victorian Rose, then a second row of two strands of Raspberry. It should be nice and warm. :-)

Photos coming soon. I have just been too tired to fiddle with photos (uploading, that is).
