Darla!

Chris and I got a puppy about a week ago. Her name is Darla, she's about 10 weeks old and she's adorable.


We're spoiling her.


She's literally walking all over us.


And she's got more energy than I do but she's a pretty awesome addition to our family.

A Fat Little Fox

I recently finished making this chubby little fox toy. It started out as a pig from this pattern but the face just looked too pointy to me. Chris stepped in and suggested that it looked like a fox so I winged an equally fat fox tail and gave it a try. It's probably not my best toy but I'm pretty happy with it.

BP Protest

I photographed a protest in front of a BP gas station on Houston and Broadway for Gothamist. The demonstration was pretty well-organized and peaceful. Police had blocked the gas station property off entirely so the protest was kept to the sidewalk where people chanted and doused themselves with buckets of oily goo.



I feel like she looks a little more like she fell in the river in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but I admire the cat whiskers.


Although the protesters that gathered were pretty intense, the turnout was small and it seemed like there were just as many people there to write about or photograph the event for press as there were actual protesters.

Guinness World Record Breaking Dodgeball

Yesterday I photographed a record breaking dodgeball game at the 69th Regiment Armory.





It ended up drawing over 700 people.



Some people a little weirder than others.



Some stylishly dressed spectators.


Even the host was dressed in his dodgeball best.



Some people took it very seriously and did some pre-game moves to limber up.



And then the game began.




And a new Guinness World Record was made.

Bunny Done!

The bunny is done. I modified the pattern a little to make the bunny a smaller since I didn't have enough yarn for the full size. I also changed to ears from crochet to knit and knit them in two halves that where then seamed. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.
