BREAKING NEWS!
Crazy girl (aka Terri Stegmiller) has done it again. She's gone insanely mad with yet another crafty pursuit. The concensus is that she's got a disease that some of you may have also. Please see your checkbook so you can have this verified.

See this luscious, fluffy pile of goodness?

And then, yesterday while out running errands, I accidently walked past the magazine rack and picked up this:

And, YEP! You guessed it! Just had to buy it. Do you do that? Buy a magazine or book because of one pattern? I don't do it a whole bunch but occasionally do.

Here's my latest colorless face in progress.


And how about a challenge? Please tell me in the comments, what the following picture says/means/portrays. In one week, I'll pick, from the commenters, a person who will then be mailed a goody bag. There are no right or wrong answers as far as entering the challenge goes, I'm curious to know if any of you can identify the meaning of this picture. The answer and chosen name will be revealed on August 19.
