lucky number

There were 74 names in the giveaway drawing, and the random sequence generator did it's stuff this morning.

The winner is #5:

Boud

Congratulations, Boud!

I hope you will enjoy your new constellation.

(Will the Dollivers claim naming rights?)

Email or ravPM your mailing address, and I will send your stars the very next time I can get to the Post Office. Lately that's been once/week on Saturday, so it may take a while...

but they'll be a-coming!

Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway.

I'm enjoying meeting new blogfolk thanks to Vicki's GYB Party,

and it's especially nice to see new names popping up in the comments!

Well, my "work" here is done.

Time to wade through the new

- and still falling -

snow,

water buckets in hand.

Have a peaceful Sunday, everyone!

a quick reminder

In case you forgot what falling snow looks like:

taken a few minutes ago.

But that's not really what I wanted to remind you about...

it's that the Grow Your Blog Party giveaway entries

close tonight at midnight, Eastern Time.

So if you haven't already done so,

you might wish to leave a comment on the giveway post.

Tomorrow I will make a numbered list of commenters

and use random.org to select the winning number.

And I will post the winner's name on the blog tomorrow!

Good luck  :)

And a big "thank you" to everyone who expressed interest

in the Snow Leopard Trust!

that's entertainment

Need slippers?

Step 1:

knit giant clown-sized wooly footbags. 

Step 2:

throw them in the washer with very hot water.

Cross fingers and hope for the best:

Step 3 (optional):

make a before-and-after composite

for full comedic effect.

What, doesn't everybody measure their knitting

with a Biltmore stick?

(It just happened to be handy.)

And here's a rav link to full project details for felted slippers.

You may want to try it!

First it will make you laugh,

then it will keep your feet warm.

How many things can you say that about?
