Favorites
A couple days ago, we had a question about which pieces in our show are our favorites. Kiki & I struggled and kept changing our minds. It is almost as hard as picking a favorite child. Lucy & Lily, on the other hand, had no problem or hesitation. Lily's favorite is her "Turtle". And Lucy picked her "Penguin (Dookl, Dookl)". Aren't they modest? When pressed for a second favorite, Lucy picked "Flower Faery 1" , which is a photo of her and Lily picked "Pass It On", which we all worked on together. I love my kids and their confidence!
You may be wondering what is "Dookl, Dookl." This, of course, is the sound a Penguin makes. When Lucy was 1 or 2 and we practiced animal sounds, like everyone does with their child. She decided the Penguin says "Dookl, Dookl." She had a Lego penguin that she carried around saying "Dookl, Dookl." That was also about the time she discovered decimals, but that is a story for another day.
The contest is in full swing. We even had a new entrant, thanks Mel (glad you like the old photos & the lesson). The current odds, for anyone wanting to make side bets, are Creative Genius? 2:1, Illanna 4:1, Letoya 13:1, and Mel 40:1.
One commenter had trouble identifying what the photo on "I Know You" was. Here is a larger version. I also now included it on the details for that piece. I didn't realize we were making you play "What's This" on the artwork as well. I guess that is the downside of an online show, people can't walk up and take a closer look. Also, our whole website is designed for the old-fashioned 800 X 600 screen settings, because we are getting old and blind. So the pictures may look small if you have your screen set to something else. The picture is of a hand holding a rose. The curve on the left side is a hip. Can you see it? It is a little abstract. I was going more for mood than detail.
We will be adding some more online exclusives to the show very soon, so please stay tuned!

I guess Alison doesn't realize that I bribed you and that it's fixed.
"Oh boy! Today I woke up and I took a shower. I wasn't sure if I should condition my hair but then I DID! You know what? I went and had a manicure today. I was debating about the pedicure, but then my baby started to cry. I wonder why he does that. Just doesn't make sense to me. Then I had lunch. Here is my recipe for lunch: One box of Kraft Mac and Cheese, one cup of water. Mix them together and put them in the microwave. My husband says I can't cook, but he's wrong. See- I made lunch. I wasn't sure if I blah blah blah blah blah blah blah"

"Oh boy. I love your work. I bet if I say that enough times, I will win. Is it true that blah blah blah blah blah"

Dear Mr. President, There are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three.
P.S. I am not a crackpot
By the way Alison, don't take this the wrong way, but you are paying me to win this contest.

Hey, mother, I come bearing a gift. I'll give you a hint. It's in my diaper and it's not a toaster.

That comment that was deleted was me by the way. It was an accident. Does it still count?
The doctor said I wouldn't have so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger outta there
Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me
This is my sandbox, I'm not allowed to go in the deep end
Can I leave a comment? I really really really like what S is making now, and want to win it myself. Not that I am jealous. Not that it is almost Mothers' Day. (Mother's Day? a day for one mother, or all mothers.....? Why do I make things so hard?) If we give prizes based on originality of comment, or on how much it makes us laugh, Maxie is in the lead now, with his knitblogging common law wife in a close second (S would reverse the standings).

Yeah - I have to admit - they win for creativity... I just type too much!
Yeah Ms. I... I know I pay you to win... so that means you have to turn your winnings over to me... right - isn't that the way it works??
As for Ms. I's comment on every knitblogger except her... did you not shower this morning? :-)
Kiki - I totally think every thumb sucker of the word should unite... how cool would that be?!?!
Thanks for posting a bigger picture of I KNOW YOU... I thought it was a hand - but couldn't tell... ok - I like that one too!
Hey Lucy - I'd love to hear your version of OLD MAC DONALD!!!
I had a turtle as a child... (can you belive that Lily... I actually had a turtle)... but I don't think it made a sound... hey Lucy - what sound does a turtle make??
Ok - question....
If you can pick your friends...
And you can pick your nose.......
Why can't you pick your friend's nose??
Happy Mother's Day Ms. Kiki!
A peanut sat on a railroad track... it's heart was all a flutter... along came the 9:15... toot toot... Peanut Butter!
So as of the last blog post I had a 2:1 odds... I bettcha I don't win... just a hunch!
However can someone hook me up with the same odds in Powerball!!! I'd actually play then (but belive me I'd still loose)
I had a good time today... thank you for inviting me!!!
Head over to my blog to see some pics from today!!
Hey ladies (and Maxie)
We are having such a good time with this contest!! And such a good time with all of you.
Thanks for making my mother's day such a great one...I do believe it is my favorite one so far, and it is because as we grow older, we are able to make up our own families to compliment the ones we are born into, and friends come in handy for so many reasons. Thanks for making me laugh, and for caring for the four of us so much. You have no idea what that means to some stranded Hoosiers!
Love,
Kikiluscious
