Christmas has been over and New Year’s is a memory, but I continue to be lazy. I’ve been wanting to show off some of my favorite presents for a while now, but only got around to taking pictures yesterday.
Yes, that’s a garden gnome flying a bomber with a pin up gnome on the side. And yes, there is a story there. Gnome art genius C painted it for me for Christmas. I haven’t hung it up yet, due to a lack of hammer and nails, but it will have a place of honor very soon. Right next to this
You read right. L at work is a fan of Subversive Cross Stitch, and as I introduced her to the above phrase, well… She even used Stacey colors! Aww.
And I gave this as a gift, but I just think it’s cool.
Tibetan singing bowls, one for me and one for C. I got them at one of the little Tibetan stores on Hawthorne. We’ve been meaning to start going to meditation sessions at a dharma center, but haven’t got off our butts to do it yet. I thought they’d be a neat little reminder to get on the cushion, as they say. C and I tried to play them a little on Christmas, but instead of getting a nice ringing sound out of them, we only managed a weird alien humming. In time, I suppose. I haven’t practiced trying to get mine to actually ring in my apartment, Cheech and Chong next door probably wouldn’t like it.
I’ve also been knitting my little fingers to the bone this weekend, and have a couple FO’s to show off, but I’ll wait until I give them to their new owners before I post. I get to play Knit Fairy at work tomorrow, let’s just say.
