Lego Fun

Well, I should post a photo of the progress on the Cascade Skye cardigan. Feeling newly committed to the goal of trying to finish it up by my birthday next week, I've picked it up again and am speeding up the right front now. That way I won't have to constantly sneak guilty glances at the cardigan sitting in a Vera Bradley bag by my chair when I cast on something new to celebrate the start of a new (age) year. After all, the cardigan was sort of a hallmark for me during my pregnancy, so I feel like it's important to see it to completion (before the baby starts walking!).

Still, no photos.

Despite the great sounding name I've given it, it's really not photo-worthy in pieces. The sleeves are striped, but the fronts are just solid purple Cascade. Pretty boring from a blog photo standpoint. If you've seen it on one day, it won't look much different on another!

Instead, I'll post two photos representative of some computer fun I've been having this morning with my three year old. (We're a tech-heavy house, and he's a precociously tech savvy little boy.)

These are from the Mini-Mizer application I stumbled across in an old entry from the Mommio Knits! blog.

In this house, we love Legos - despite the fact that they end up constantly underfoot (something we know we have to be on the watch for since the four-month old will soon be on the move), so the Mini-Mizer proved to be great fun for us, and Matthew and I spent a back-and-forth morning creating Lego-like people (while my mind was spinning with the zillion ways I could print these out and use them creatively in ways Matthew will love offline).

With so many digital viruses, adware, malware, and worse floating around on the web, it's refreshing to find an application like this - innocent, innocuous, and free.

Of the two photos above, one probably represents me as I am, and one more closely resembles me on the inside - or maybe the me I hope to become!
