I know that Cupid is usually some sort of angel baby,

but I'm thinking he's a little bit naughtier than that.

I had fun carving his little bow, and didn't even cut myself. Dylan got a scroll saw recently (woohoo, new toy!) so the basic shape was cut from a tiny piece of trim, then I busted out the ole X-acto knife and sandpaper to finish it off.

Tag! I'm it!

I've been tagged. Karin from Countryfolk Keepsakes tagged me and now (after asking what exactly "tag" means) I have to write 5 things about myself and then pass on the taggy goodness. OK, here goes:

1) When I was 7 I was bound and determined to marry Sidney Poitier when I grew up.

2) Clowns totally creep me out. They REALLY creep me out when they are out of context, like at the bank. *shudder*

3) I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show, not the movie. I'm not like a super fan, not running out to get a Xander tattoo or anything, but I have seen every episode. And I think Joss Whedon is a genius.

4) I am certified in CPR and know how to use one of those defibrillator do-hickeys. Don't go feeling like it's safe to have a heart attack around me though, I might just freak out.

5) My mom still calls me Buttonhead. And I don't mind one little bit.

OK, now comes the part when I tag 5 other people. If I can catch them. . .

New Little Red

A new dolly came to join the Reds on Christmas morning.

An old soul, she has seen some hard days

and is rather suspicious of strangers.

I'm afraid she has met a wolf or two in her long years,

and is all the more careful for it.

It took some coaxing, but Tinker Red is the care-taking sort.

It wasn't long before our new girl was sitting on Tinker's lap.

Squeaky Red is a bit much at first,

what with her incessant chatter,

but she grew on New Red in no time.

Like all little girls, Reds are especially resilient creatures,

and before I knew it they were all merrily exchanging secrets.
