Thoughtful Thursdays: Hmmmmm....

Sometimes.... there's just not a whole lot to talk about.

Now Where Are Those Missing Socks?

Oh... there you are, you little sneaks! All the time, you were right there in the dryer. How could I have missed you? Now you know I made you as Valentine's gifts for my favorite people. You shouldn't have hidden from me like that. I got a little worried.

Well, we weren't exactly here the whole time, you know? Maybe that's why you couldn't find us!

Oh, really? Is that right? Well... what do spare-socks-turned-sock-creatures do when I'm not around?

Well... Jay was hanging out on the counter for awhile because he thought it looked cool like an arcade...

Who are you looking at with that idiotic grin? You think that's funny?

And Mom—of course—stayed right where she was supposed to be. In the dryer. Near the lint trap. Waiting for the kids to come back...

Yeah, well... that makes perfect sense. Mom's good like that.

But I was so tired of hanging out all day in the laundry room... well... I just had to bounce!

Oh, I see. Well, I certainly get tired of hanging out in the laundry room. So I can understand that. But I'm glad I found all of you. Now I can gift you little creatures to your new owners. I know they'll be thrilled to have you!

Me Love Cookie...

Ever feel like your in a constant conundrum? Well, so does Cookie... this amazingly adorable sock creature made just for me! While attending the Squam Art Workshops, one of my fellow Squammies—Carol Sullivan—had created a Mr. Rabbit sock creature for our teacher, Nina. I gushed over it for hours, and upon my return to NJ, Carol informed me that she made a little guy for me. How lucky am I? The generosity of the people I met at the retreat is just awe inspiring.

I brought him to work so he could make me smile all day long. Who couldn't love a face like that...

Thanks again, Carol!
