Passing the Time During Flu and Cold Season

We have been keeping busy the past couple of weeks.  I have found a new obsessive-compulsive hobby to pass the time and keep my mind from wandering too much-amigurumi.  The ancient art of japanese crochet.  This is a completely useless pastime, but I am addicted to making these adorable big-headed stuffed animals.  I just can't get enough.  Right now I am about to finish a penguin.  Here's a pic of the elephant I made, a kitty, and my first attempt-a monkey.  (The gauge was off so it turned out pretty huge...)






While I have been busy with amigurumi, Kate has had a busy couple of weeks too, between the onslaught of colds and illnesses that befall us at this time of the year....
