Pottery Night, starring Sophie, Kristien, Dad and Jef!

Dad shows off a shockingly good caricature of his brother:

I finished Xmas presents for my sister and mom:

Jef made some hilarious critters which I think he called skrogs:

Sophie directed:

…and also made a rather impressive little mouse in a house:

Afterward we ate too much Chinese food and Sophie taught Jef to play Pattycake:

The rest of the night went a lot like this:

I have a motley assortment of photos, mostly from my camera phone unfortunately, but all at least passingly amusing.

My father still hasn’t sent me the promised photos from Hallowe’en, so I guess you’re not going to see them, but I do have a shot of the Happy Hybrid Demon Pet I made for the occasion, and some gruesome photos of The Leavings.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you:

The Frogigercorn!

These mutilated remains were left over from the hybridization process:

Over the days following Hallowe’en, a resourceful fellow mad scientist formed this demon spawn from the …remains.

Finally, my partners in crime for Hallowe’en:

I suppose I should also show you this italian-american squirrel

And we’ll wrap up with a picture of Sophie drawing dinosaurs.

Actual Hallowe’en shots will be in a separate post, since I forgot my camera and have to wait on photos to be emailed to me.  Until then, here is a sampling of silly and pretty things from the past week:

First, a happy papadum, courtesy of my sillier half,

who also likes to send me private messages over Twitter.

Some things found in my apartment building,

My bike, sporting a brand-new shiny sticker from Watching The World Wake Up,

(it’s the eyeball with the rays shooting out around it)

A couple of pretty things that would have been prettier if only I’d brought my proper camera

And finally, on the off chance that anyone actually comes here looking for truth and meaning:

…the only bright spot in my otherwise miserable, sniffly, snotty, sore-throaty, shivery day.
