Mushroom Buttons!
I got the buttons at a crazy old-fashioned sewing supply store nearby. You know the kind, where the old guy working there is kind of joking around and kind of making fun of you all the time... They also have some cool buttons that look like old German coins, but I have to ask Beate before I buy them whether or not that would be a 'no-no'. Not all old-fashioned German things are, you know, ok to use.
Holiday note: I've been missing my friend's Rock-and-Roll Passover in Brooklyn. I made the charoses, and after the dinner we all sat around on the floor drinking Maneschewitz and reading from the Song of Songs. Sigh.
Around here, Jeremy and I made a lovely Easter dinner featuring Butter. Butter fried new potatoes! Asparagus!
And here is the other little creature that I've added to the collection:
The Nautiloid! Baby's first pre-historic sea creature.
His menagerie so far:

Cute, cute, and cute! Can't wait to see JP sitting in the middle of his friends. Nice work, especially on the sweater.
love the buttons so much! the sweater looks perfect! where do you find the time, woman? I was hoping that you bought the buttons and didn't carve them yourself, but I wouldn't put it past you
I think the "baby" your grotesque is having might actually be just a cirrhotic liver. Let's hope nobody knit (knitted?) a sweater for him
Karen, that made me laugh. Next time I try to reconstruct one of those crazy dances, I'm going to have to ask you for symptoms.
They are really cute little stuffed animals! Jp will be sooooooooooo lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
