Peeking out from behind the curtain...
I know I was all, "Hey, come September 19th, I'm going to fly like an eagle and let my spirit carry me" and whatever.
But I'm here to tell you that Jeff just gave me these shoes:

When I wear these things, I suddenly want to feed the babies and shoe the children and house the people, Steve Miller!
I also wanted to tell you that this week (because my friend Robin (the birthday girl!) is full of good ideas) I'm opening up an Etsy store, where I will be selling knitted stuff. I'll keep you updated.
This month has been a busy one. And
the new Fluid Pudding site will be kicking off next month! And holy
crap! I believe I'm off to kick some ass with those new boots of mine!
Watch out, Jim Talent!
UPDATE: My Etsy shop
is now open. Obviously, it's a slow start up. Right now I have three
vases listed. Next up? Felted bowls! And more vases! And baby hats! The
possibilities are excitingly endless!
ANOTHER UPDATE: Well, it seems
that my felted vases are actually lead balloons! This is a lie, but
I've had 429 people send e-mails to me telling me how much they want to
purchase the vases, but they're not quite yet ready to commit to a
relationship with Etsy. If you want to work around making up yet
another username and password, send an e-mail to me. We can dance under
The Man!

Good work, Jeff.

And I can't wait to see your stuff on the Etsy store. That's so cool!

And congrats on the Etsy shop! I think that's a fabulous idea.

Can't wait to see what fabulous things you whip up! I need to add some more to my store - hopefully these colder months will get me sewing more!

Fun fact #2: the English say "Happy Christmas" because the word "merry" has historical definitions related to the state of being "drunk." Not that there's anything wrong with being merry...
Nice boots.

I think you need to go do some singin' in the rain with those boots, my friend.
