Things what are Good. Hibernation Edition.
- Sweaters of wool and cashmere. Thank you sheeps and goats! Soon I shall add alpaca to my collection.

- Interior Decorating. It's pretty fun, actually. We're working on a painting project with some fairly bold colors. Pictures soon if it's any good.

Inspiration
Yes. Yes.
This guy gets it.
"Well, you could quit, because it’s too hard to make stuff you aren’t already great at. You could convert all that pointless effort and practice back into MySpace updates and the production of funny cat pictures.
