The start of Snow Madness 2011-2012

Ok, in Michigan, it's sort of snaining.  I agree, that does sound like a personal problem, but you mix snow and rain, and, you get snain.  I'm not saying it's pretty, I'm just saying it.  With all the dirty sounding weather we've been having, I've been in the crafty mood.  Yes, I've done some serious witchcraft, but I've also been toiling...double, double, toil and trouble, on Pig 3's Snotty Ripple Blanket. Which, if what I say in the post is true, was started almost 1 year ago.  Sometimes, I lie.

 It's a large blanket, for sure, but it has not acquired unacceptable size. 

See, the big stripes, that's my Snotty Ripples. Don't worry, your computer is fine, it's the ripples making the photo blurry

Now, my dear, sweet Patty has also been making a Snotty Ripple Blanket also.  Hers has been deemed to be

The Socially Unacceptable blanket, due to it's immense size.  

Or a lovely cozy for a Smart Car. (also due to it's immense size) (boys love that phrase)

But we of the ZPDK LOVE IT!  Don't frog it!  It's a thing of awe and beauty!!

I've been thinking about it, and I believe it should be the new annual Holiday Photo blanket.  The whole family gets under it, and the photo is just of noggins.  That way everything from bad fashion, weight gain, pregnancies, questionable boyfriends/girlfriends can be hidden.

After the Snotty Ripples catastrophe, I'm wondering friends, what other questionable activity can I talk you into? It looks like it's going to be a long winter, with plenty of opportunities for
SNOW MADNESS!

Oooh, it's you again

There is a certain individual who is making a second attempt at taking over the world, and it's pissing me off.  That said person went to jail a few years back for insider trading.  She learned to crochet in jail. Does that mean I should go to jail to learn to crochet? No, then I wouldn't be able to donate blood.  Really, the blood donation thing is what keeps me in line.

Now, her face and name, which are her brand are all over EVERYTHING.  It makes me feel like I'm in a creepy time warp to 1999. But this time with shockingly high unemployment, and no fear of y2k.

It's like she had an evil check list for world domination, and it went something like this:

Major exposure
Conquer all facets of retail
Don't forget crafty ladies!-Work on getting the cover of Vogue Knitting
For the men...a line at Home Depot
I want my face on everything! Except toilet seats

Sure, I'm tricked by the sparkly pretty that she throws together, but I refuse to support her, out of principle.

I will say though, here is her link to Charity Work.  I may be bitchy, but I at least look into the person I'm snarking on.  Next week, we tackle JLo, and the whole fiat/chrysler comeback thing going on.

Take Advantage of the Classics!

Now when I say take advantage of the classics, I'm not saying it's time to roll an old person, or take up only wearing your Renaissance Faire garb.  I know, I know, it's classic, and I totally want to wear my peasant wench shirt all the time too.  But this time I'm talking about movies.

There have been many a Snotty Movie Review here at Knit with Snot.  Ah, who can forget Perseus' many panty shots in the revamped Clash of the Titans?  Well, I certainly can't.

This time of year, there are many small screen offerings of holiday gems. Maybe you traditionally watch them with the fam in the living room.  But this year, start a new tradition!  Get fresh-ish movie theater popcorn and a bucket of soda with...

Celebration Cinema's Celebrating the Classics!!

This December they will be showing:
Babes in Toyland
It's a Wonderful Life
White Christmas


I know not all of you live in the Kalamazoo area, but it's worth checking out your local theater.  Last year we saw White Christmas, it was amazing on the big screen. Plus, who knew Bing Crosby's legs were so lovely. Rarrr.

Annie...jr

It's that time of year again!  No, I'm not begging you to purchase cub scout popcorn again, it's the annual 4th through 8th Grade musical!

This year the talented kids at Vicksburg are treating us to Annie!  Yes, that beloved redhead and her rag tag team of dirty 1930's era orphans and their gin swilling caretaker!

Ok, ok.  It's Annie JR.  I think the gin portions of the play have been lessened or removed.  But, since it's still a hard knock life for orphans, the musical numbers remain.

Please join in the fun!

Ok, here's the sad part, no, I'm not playing the orphan card again, I don't know what time the performances actually are.  Pig 2 has the Annie shirt with all the info, which he refused to wear, and hid.  I only have the bring your kids here, at this time, info.  I get it, this is pretty weak advertising on my part.

But we'd love to see you there! I swear if you want to go, I will get actual times for you!
