Missa, aka The Midnight Knitter has finished her crocheted Capelet for the Flower Power CAL - WOW! Great job - I am on a poncho bender myself and this has given me the shot in the arm I need to get a move on...

She also has created a page with
FREE BLOG BUTTONS
for fiber artists.

This fits my bill:



BUT this is probably closer to the truth



Thanks, Missa!

(Please be sure and download these to your own server so you are following cool blog etiquette...)

The Fabulous Lisa, over at BlogDogBlog is playing with COOL buttons as she nears the finish line with her Adult Surprise Jacket. Always a treat: the pictures she posts of her tiny schmoo herd of Dachsunds:
Mike, Jack, and Della...

Her sister has a blog called Banana Flip! and a new puppy named Apple who actually is more of a fruit than possibly Gwyneth's bambino??

Monday Morning Mirth

Now that Chicago has become such a HOT tourist destination everybody is offering generous travel stop hype...

from Men's Health magazine: "Look for where State and Rush Streets intersect to form a triangle (nicknamed the "Viagra Triangle" because of the head-turners seen there). Best viewing area: the outdoor patio at the Tavern on Rush."

Overheard: "It doesn't have that Viagra feeling," she said. "They call this area the `Viagra Triangle' don't they?"

Ashley was talking about the granddaddy bars of the Rush Street area, places like The Lodge and Mother's, spots that are often a haven for, um, the older set--men and women still trying to hang on to their youth."

Under 40? Enjoy a cocktail called the "Little Blue Pill" @Elm Street Liquors and do some People Watchin' People Watchin' People yourself...
