Not Plushied Plushie

2011-04-05T20:51:00.000-07:00

Soooo, I decided to make a plushie turtle for my baby niece. I was totally excited because one day, after playing around in my sewing and remnants box, I realized that all of the wonderful prints that I have are perfect for baby items. She just loved the blue flower pattern that is this turtle's right arm.
At first, I was going to hand sew it all, but decided that my stitches might not be secure enough to have an infant playing with and sucking on with out having the stuffing come out.
I sewed this all in one sitting because I was super gung-ho about getting it done. And I also didn't even stop to think about how I was going to sew the turtle shell on!! I did it totally wrong lol.
Meaning to sew it and then turn it inside out, to have the shell be a kind of disc, I sewed the inside on the outside and the leg all jacked up.
Needless to say, I got way frustrated with this project after realizing what I had done and have put it to the side for now.
Seam ripper is in close proximity and will be handled later =)

Crocheted Shapes Wall Hanging

2011-03-18T21:59:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I hope you all didn't think I made like a rotten banana and split 8-l

Problems just isn't the word for what technology and I have been going through, but, alas, I have access to a working computer again and can post.

I did my wall hanging as a gift to my neice, who is 4 months now. It's currently hanging next to her crib.

If I keep having reasons to make her things like this, I'm sure she's going to be an abstract thinker when she grows up.

My idea was to make basic shapes for her to look at that weren't crazy bright like all her toys. I took a picture frame that I had around and covered it with pieces of an old shirt that was retired to the scraps & recycling bin, and then covered that with a scrap piece of fabric from my box. Tiny twisty ribbons for trunks, and a tiny yellow ribbon for hanging
:)

My niece will be getting a plushie soon too. Can't wait to share that!

It's not every day that I learn a new word in the field of drawing. Thanks. Make sure you watch the smaller format because the bigger one doesn't have sound.

2011-02-24T10:04:00.001-08:00

Amethysta what is our theme for March?

Needle Punch Wall Hangings

2011-02-24T10:02:00.000-08:00

I turned some of my needle punch art into wall hangings. I carefully pinned them to foam core and hung them from ribbons. Then I listed them on Etsy. I also photographed them for my Zazzle shop, so that they'd be affordable to everyone.

My 'wall hanging' and snood...?

2011-02-22T22:12:00.000-08:00

I made a Snood. really I did. It was purple and too small for my head, but it was purple. and then I lost it :( Not sure what happened, I made it at the end of January and then my new roomates moved in and half the house got reshuffled and now it's gone. If I ever find it I'll post it :)

as for my wall hanging :) I had a little bit of trouble thinking of something to make for this theme so I just did another painting, It's going to hang in my bedroom whenever I get my hubby to hang it for me (i'm too short lol ) I think it's a tad boring, but it was fun to make:

and yeah lol that's my dirty dishes off to the side ^^;

March is for cuteness!!

2011-02-22T21:50:00.001-08:00

Ok, after much thought, I have decided that March must be about cute and adorable!

The Theme?

Plushies!

it must be soft and cute but it doesn't matter what it is or what it's made of! animals? sure! little toys? why not! crochet? sew? felt? anything goes! even Pickles! (as long as they are cute :3 )

March Theme!

2011-02-19T15:02:00.000-08:00

Amethysta it's your turn for theme !! it can be anything you want try to post before March 1st so we all have time to make the item by then end of the month!! YAY and have fun with it okay !!!!!

February is here!

2011-02-05T21:11:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful January! I made my Wall hanging earlier but haven't taken pictures yet. Story of my Life right :P any who It didn't turn out how I wanted it to and it made me sad. I cut it all out of Felt and got it set up added craft glue to hold it in place and started stitching around the piece, got tired and went to bed woke in the morning only to find out that the craft glue I used is too thick to stitch through *sad face* will be posting a picture soon promise!

As always

-Zethan

btw I'm pretty sure I'm crazy, just thought I would share!

EDIT!!!!!!!! here is a sideways pic of my wall hanging that well you know the rest!

January Snood

2011-01-22T16:35:00.000-08:00

Hey!
Can you believe it? I have my January theme done. It's been done for a while and I've been wearing it around like it's goin out of style, but haven't taken pictures of it until now.

I found this yarn on sale and decided to try it for this project because it didn't require lots of stitches. I was afraid hat the 'boulce-ness' of the yarn would confuse me to no end, but I totally dig it and have gotten many compliments on the snood!

Sorry I'm late!

2011-01-14T15:57:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry! I was out of town for a large portion of December, and for New Years, so I'm gonna Post December's Item today!

For my 'Items to share' theme, I did 10 mini-paintings for my family! Each painting is about 2"x2" and painted with acrylic paints. Since I couldn't really afford to buy my extended family any gifts this year (and since I was going out of town to meet them) I figured something personal was much more fun!

And before you ask: that one painting? yeah, you know which one...that's NOT blood...It's Ketchup...You'd really have to know my brother to understand :)

Oh, and I was also thinking I would show you guys my Christmas tree this year! the part of my family that I spent Christmas Day with didn't have a tree. So on Christmas Eve, I grabbed a tree branch, and whatever I could find around the house, and made a tree for them! the poor thing was so tiny, just one of my ornaments was so heavy it bent the 'tree' in half.

And here's a closeup of the ornaments I made too! They're chenille stems and beads

"Snood"

2011-01-06T18:30:00.001-08:00

I tried!I really did
I should have picked a better color >.< my Hubie and his friend thought it was a "hair net" well i mean kinda but I'm not working with food right now. :(

We Need a New Banner

2011-01-06T15:07:00.000-08:00

If anyone wants to make it and email it to me so I can post it that's great. If not we'll look at the plain banner. I took mine down...I'd grown tired of it. It should say Zombie Nanner Gang and have some sort of zombie banana art on it.

February and June's themes

2011-01-05T06:29:00.000-08:00

Hello Folks,

I didn't want to let my turn zoom on by again, so I'm posting the themes for the next couple of months that will fall on me.
For February, I'd like us to create wall hangings. I don't know about your dwelling, but when I look at my walls, they seem super bare and I find that 4 year old part of me who who scribbled on the walls to make them pretty just screaming in my ear.
Your wall hanging can be as simple as making something and putting it in a shadow box frame, or creating a piece of artwork, to an intricate beaded or sequined mosaic. As large or small and having to do with whatever suites your fancy (or home decor).

For June, let's create market/beach bags. I'm sure that the summer will entice us to go out a bit more whether it be for more frequent strolls about, to the beach, or farmer's market. Sew, crochet, knit, or repurpose this one!

Have fun!
Nisha

OH its January!!!

2011-01-04T00:18:00.000-08:00

Alright Ladies its Snood month and for some of us that have ALREADY finished this project (you know who you are) I have a side project for you Start work on your very own MAP Blanket found here http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80046.html?noImages= if you are not a member it is free to jion and its a great project that you can work on when you are bored.

December "no pictures"

2010-12-31T20:06:00.000-08:00

I Found a cord!!
and here are the ornaments I madeI hope you enjoy

my very poorly captured picture shoots

Two Loom Knitted Hats

2010-12-25T23:57:00.000-08:00

This month's theme was to make something to give to someone. Here is what I made to give to someone else. I made them for Joyce who is giving them to her two little friends. I tried to get them to her early so the girls would get them for Christmas but the weather made it unsafe to drive. So she got them on Christmas day instead, and will deliver them as soon as possible.

Milk Bread Rolls to Be Enjoyed by Others

2010-12-11T15:10:00.000-08:00

For the December theme, I decided to make share some bread with a neighboring family.
I do love making bread so much that I am prone to random excursions into the recipe book, coming out with some quite tasty treats for the family.

It hardly ever leaves this house (not because it's afraid, but because it gets eaten!)

I like to use every baking adventure as a time to learn or practice what I do know, so with these soft rolls, I decided to try a new, shape. The single knots are how we were taught to make this bread in school, and the swirly looking ones were an experiment to see how the folds would open up in the shape.

Anyway, I'm sure that this bread has been enjoyed and that feels great!

Tagging Things On Flickr

2010-12-10T09:17:00.000-08:00

In case members have forgotten or didn't know, if you tag your relevant photos on your Flickr stream with zngang they'll show up in the slideshow to the right.

Oopsy

2010-12-04T15:59:00.000-08:00

Oopsy, I thought it was my turn to pick a theme. But when I was re-reading posts, I see Zethan already wanted to do ornaments (or something you can share) in December. So I'll do my theme for January. Blush.

Theme for January

2010-12-04T15:32:00.000-08:00

Since I haven't heard from Lanee' and Zethan went last month, and our new member is just learning the ropes, I'll go ahead and pick this month's theme.

New Year's Eve party hats, accessories and decorations.
And here is mine.
I love snoods. They keep my hair covered on a bad hair day, they are a lot of fun to make and wear, and you can make them to match your outfits. I used to make them for an opera singer that had long hair. She wore them all the time and they became her signature.
I like to add a drawstring to mine to make them adjustable. I picked green with sparkles because that goes with Christmas, New Year's Even, Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day.

I can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with.

Hi there! I'm new!

2010-11-30T22:17:00.000-08:00

Hello!

I figured this was a good time to introduce myself, since Zethan was so nice to invite me to the Zombie Nanner Gang!

I'm studying to be a graphic designer. I love games and making things. I mainly crochet and draw, but I can also paint, sew, sculpt, cook, and just about anything else you can think of :)

and just to make my first post interesting, I added some drawings I did on my computer earlier today!

If you wanna see more of my work, you can go here to my DeviantArt page.

I'm really looking forward to this month's theme, and to adding to the Zombie Nanner Gang!

-Amethysta

December theme

2010-11-30T16:10:00.000-08:00

This December theme is long over due so why don't we get started humm? I have a tradition in my family where we made ornaments for all the girls in the family each year to help decorate their tree when they get married. So far I have been the only girl to make ornaments each year sadly I never date or put my name on them so I have no idea when I made what >.< .... I say lets make something that can be enjoyed by many! There is no specific item just something you can share. It could be your favorite dish for the holidays, cookies, ornaments, or even gifts that you've made for others, the out come is limitless so have fun and spread some holiday cheer this December!

Theme - Something you can share with others!

November post

2010-11-30T16:02:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a Wonderful Thanksgiving or Time off from work and school. I spent most of my November month working on part of my Christmas present for my chosen family. which was ......... (dramatic pause) ............. Scarfs for the whole family Yes that is right the WHOLE family well not the animals *sigh* I don't think they would enjoy it as much at the Humans would. So I finished the last one around 9pm yesterday and piled them all in a bag and brought them over to the family. Sadly I forgot to take pictures of any of them all 5 that I made >.< which makes me sad and it leaves me with no pictures to post. I will Remember next time to take pictures ! oh I also made pumpkin cheese cake which I also forgot to take pictures and post *Big Sigh*

Please help me remember PICTURES !!

-Zethan

Lanee' Are You With Us?

2010-11-24T19:25:00.000-08:00

It's time to pick a theme for December. Lanee' do you want to go next? Then we could just rotate each month, unless we get new members, then we can reconfigure.

Harvest Mini Pillow

2010-11-22T12:09:00.000-08:00

I just couldn't come up with great project for this month's theme. Then as I was looking for some plastic canvas, I found this little pillow I finished not so very long ago that has a harvest theme! I totally forgot I made it. In fact I should have listed it in my Etsy shop before Thanksgiving and now it's too late. :(
But you can still enjoy it here on the zombie blog. Go NANNERS!

Oh and I told my friend about your group. He thought NANNER was short for grandma (nana I guess). He wanted to know why I invited him to a blog for grannies. LMAO. So if anyone else is confused, nanner is short for BANANA.

Autumn is Upon Us

2010-11-10T08:52:00.000-08:00

I still haven't picked a fall project. Ack! Maybe I can figure out what to make on my camping trip this weekend.

We still need more members. Right now we are only making one themed item a month. I guess that should make it easier on everyone. Some of the blogs like this are very active and even end up publishing their art in a book. Wouldn't that be grand. I would love to see this group busy and thriving, but I can't do it alone.

I can't wait to see what the other two members are whipping up.

Spider Decor for My Last Day of October

2010-10-31T10:37:00.000-07:00

I wanted to make something that would help the family get into the Halloween/ fall spirit. It's just about time for us to bring out all our winter grear- beanies and scarves, coats and mittens! I do enjoy the cold weather and snuggling up with good books while keeping warm and cozy near the heater.

My October spider doll, which will sit next to the jack-o-lantern on the table, or candy bowl for the trick or treaters that may come by is dressed and ready to go for this lovely season with a top hat and scarf!

She's Eco-friendly too! Rather than go out and get a whole new bag of polyester stuffing for her, I went through the bag of clothes we have set aside for donation and pulled out a few shirts and things that may not be great for giving and used it for stuffing. It's not much, but it's one less thing in our landfills, ya know?!

LADIES and GENTLEMEN

2010-10-24T17:33:00.000-07:00

NOVEMBER is upon us So shall we pick our theme?
1) Fall - leafs, squash deco or food (ie pies)
2) Thanks Giving - Turkeys Pilgrims and Family

There is much you can do with the two options above feel free to make something fun this year to decorate our house.

LET US BAND TOGETHER AND REMIND PEOPLE THAT NOVEMBER HAS A HOLIDAY TOO LETS CELEBRATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

-Zethan

November Theme

2010-10-22T19:47:00.001-07:00

October is just about over, and we need a theme for November. Since I came up with the last one, it must be your turn Z. Unless one of our followers is going to join us on the creative end of things.

My October Deco !

2010-10-18T14:18:00.000-07:00

So I got the right cord and here are the pictures Of the decorations I'm doing the granny squares are going to be a small throw blanket and I started a pillow but don't have a picture of that yet so I will be editing my post at a later date to show you that.

Make a Candy Corn Hat

2010-10-10T08:57:00.000-07:00

I just finished this and two other Halloween tutorials that are on my Youtube stream. Happy Halloween!

Candy Corn Hat

2010-09-27T21:29:00.000-07:00

I finished the candy corn hat. And as much as I'd like to share the photo, the app on Blogger hasn't worked for me in 3 days. The tutorial should be up in a few days. Waiting for a third party to approve it. But you can see the hat on Flickr.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/almostfamous/5031755019/

October's Quest

2010-09-16T23:53:00.000-07:00

For October we will be doing Halloween themed Items Lady Arwen suggested Candy corn but you are not limited to just that. Any thing Halloween related is welcome. Feel free to post your deco, you don't have to be Part of the Gang for this We would love to see Everyone's decorations for this years Halloween. Remember it doesn't matter when you post your pictures just as long as you have posted before the end of the month. or Early the next morning on the 1st :P So challenge yourself this October to make decorations instead of buying and show us what you made!!!!!!!

Viva la Gang!

2010-09-14T15:26:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!

So I was thinking because a lot of us are busy and a lot of things happened this pass year I think we should ReStart the Gang but this time lets start out slow. How about One item a month nothing big but something fun that we can do in our spare time. The dead line would be the end of each month and in the middle of the month decide on the next item to be made. Or even show off commission works. What say ye!?

-Zethan

Pass Me a Nanner

2010-06-05T15:46:00.000-07:00

I do hope to revive this group some day. So if any of you see this and want to join please leave a comment. Now that summer is here perhaps people will get more creative time. I sure hope so.

Right now I'm working on a chicken hat. It's not a hat for a chicken to wear but rather a hat in a chicken theme. It's crocheted. What are you working on? I still get a lot of compliments on my flying pickle. I should make some more circus veggies. And I think I want to make some felt bananas for my sock monkeys to carry around. What do you think?

Zombie Nanner Gang & the Theater of the Absurd

2009-10-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

For those of you that want to join the Zombie Nanner Gang, I just posted the list of October themes.
Last night I stayed up till 3 AM making a blog called Theodora's Theater of the Absurd. Shows you where my head is at 3 AM.

Right now I'm working on my cat applique project and also cutting more 2"squares for my postage stamp quilt. But my boyfriend started working on his drum in the same room, and it was getting tense so I came to see what was going on in Etsy and Bloggerland.

A Few Changes

2009-10-01T18:18:00.000-07:00

To make things more efficient and easier to understand, I've made the list for October all at once. That way you can plan ahead for supplies or garage sale finds. I'm not trying to hog up all the fun. If one of you wants to come up with a list for all of November or another for all of December just let me know. Right now I think I'm the only one participating, but if not just speak up. When Oct. starts winding to a close and if no one has spoken up I'll make the November list.

Time to Decorate for Halloween.

2009-10-01T00:47:00.000-07:00

It's October and I'm busy making Halloween decorations. I see some of the projects we've made here will work for Halloween too, like my witch doll and the gothic wings if I get those made. My Halloween theme this year is Theater of the Absurd.

3 days

2009-09-19T11:43:00.000-07:00

My life just keeps getting busier and busier. I'm finding it hard to promote and improve my studio, crochet new things for it, as well as do lots of other things that i'd like to. (including participating in this blog)
But I do love it!
SO! I'm going to be taking it a bit easier on myself by making a goal of posting at least 3 things a week. I've already gotten the supplies i need- can't wait to use my feathers for the fascinator- just putting them into action has not been coming along too well.
There are still lots on the lists that I haven't done. I'm going to try to do 9 of them in the coming weeks.

Updated Editor

2009-09-15T17:06:00.001-07:00

I was toying around with my settings, when I found a button to enable a newer better version of the Editor. Once I clicked on it, it applied to all my blogs, even this one. So when you go to upload photos it will look different. The icon for the photos is gone. You have to click on the tab that says 'compose' to access the photo loading page. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.

I know I have been slacking on posting here and I'm sorry. It looks as though I might have to pack up everything a move to my Parents house. Therefore I will not be able to participate in the daily crafts this month Because I will need to be packing and finding a place for all my current crafted items. If you would like something I have made here convo me at my etsy shop! www.zethan.etsy.com . Again Sorry Hopefully I will be able to come back ASAP!!!

It ties in the colors associated with lucky stuff (the 4 leaf clover- pot of gold type thing), and is a pin, so you can keep from getting pinched on St. Patty's day or pin it to a backpack just because.

Banner

2009-09-03T14:35:00.000-07:00

Do either of you want to make a new banner for autumn or winter? That way we could change it up a little.

Fascinators

2009-08-29T22:48:00.000-07:00

One of the things I'd like to throw into the challenge is to make a fascinator. Since you may not know what that is, or if you do, have no idea how to make one, I found a tutorial here: http://corvustristis.livejournal.com/3205.html I'm making one right now. I'll let you know how it comes out.

there once was a loaf of bread who thought of being more then just plain slices. The loaf dreamed of wonderful things like Bacon, cheese, ham, lettuce, tomatoes and more. While the youthful loaf slept and dreamed his dreams of becoming a Sandwich one day; there was another who was dreaming of being a Loaf of hot steamy bread. While each dreamed of the others life it dawned on the Sandwich to trick the loaf into becoming him and replacing his slices with the other. So early the next morning the Sandwich said to the loaf I have a great idea. The Loaf quaked with excitement "could this be the day" the Loaf blurted out with glee. 'OH YES!' thought the Sandwich 'I have him now'. The sandwich looked very longingly at the loaf and said " Dear Loaf I feel I have fallen ill and will not be able to take my place as the sandwich for today I was wondering if you might find it in your kind heart to switch places with me in hopes that I will be better tomorrow". The Loaf looking kinda worried about the whole thing hummed and hawed about it for a while and finally said yes.

and that is how the 2 slices of white bread got in the wheat bread bag!

Fabulous Fish by Fayme

2009-08-27T11:54:00.000-07:00

I took photos of the needle punch tools so you could see what I'm talking about. I got my supplies at Joanne's. The Michael's near me didn't seem to have anything for needle punch. It's a fun and portable craft. Just don't get so obsessed with finishing it that you give yourself blisters.

My fabulous fish was going to be a singer, but i decided to skip the mic and just let her be diva.

2009-08-25T19:02:00.000-07:00

I'm still working on the 'fabulous fish' from yesterday's challenge. I started last night, worked until 2 AM and did some more this morning and I'm still not finished but my hands are. So I'm taking a break.

Update: I got more done tonight and I'm still not done. The background is taking forever.

I had to look up 'zany' because i didn't quite get it, and when i did, Clown was in the definition. So here he is. I tried to make him look wooden by using brown. =-)

Gourd Mosaic Painting

2009-08-23T16:46:00.000-07:00

I wasn't exactly sure what the theme of the day was, but it seems I guessed right because it's mini mosaic. This is 4x4" canvas painted with a mosaic heart vase in acrylics.

2009-08-22T00:04:00.000-07:00

I bought all the stuff for the paradise cake today. Then I didn't have time to make it, but I'm really looking forward to it.

or just cheap flavored chocolate candies. Pics will follow but I ended up spent after running around with my sisters today *whew they sure can walk for hours* LOL so my guy was like umm I'm not going to eat just chocolate so I made some sort of cereal bars with chocolate instead, I guess it could be penny candy in a weird way ....

Lanee' I see your fancy 'N' going by in the slide show, but I don't think you've ever posted it to the blog. Looks great. Is it painted?

oh yeah I finished it but took forever to take pics ... also Mohawk is not included >.< was not feeling very good today

Hey! What ever happened to your Punky Panda??

2009-08-20T00:03:00.001-07:00

Here it is!

I've been re-working this punky panda thing for days. The idea that i had before just didn't translate well, so I decided to go this way instead.

The Pink stuff on top is the start of a wildly colored mohawk. It's still not finished- will be when I figure out exactly how much mohawk is a enough.

Wild Penguin Finger Puppet

2009-08-19T21:58:00.000-07:00

I liked this so much I listed it in my Tweeters and Hooters etsy shop right away. Then I made an owl to keep my penguin company.

Lonesome Cowgirl

2009-08-19T17:00:00.000-07:00

I drew several lonesome cowgirls and never did get the hat just right. What I need to do is put a cowboy hat on my wig head and use it for a model. But that's a task for another day. I need to get busy cleaning for company.

Zany Tiki, Panda, and Tiny Robot

2009-08-19T16:52:00.000-07:00

I decided to make a cardboard print of a tiki and put it on some t-shirts. Tiki T-shirts...LOL. Then while I had the ink out, I wanted to see how the panda and robot stamps I carved looked on T-shirts. So here they are. That's what I'm loving about this blog. One thing leads to another and ideas fly like sparks from a sparkler.

I got about five good prints out of the cardboard before it had a melt down. But that's all I had planned to do. It's a great way to make just a few items. I used Speedball Screenprinting Ink for fabric. It's a shame the only color I had was red. Red didn't show up so well on the darker shirts.

My Soft Hat

2009-08-19T16:50:00.000-07:00

This type of hat is called a Snood. I made it in shades of blue and purple.

About Those Finished Weeks

2009-08-18T13:26:00.000-07:00

I gave the finished weeks their own text box at the bottom of the sidebar. That way when new people join they can look at the past challenges, and start from the beginning if they want to and the rest of us can go back and see what we've gotten behind on.

Hey Zethan, what are you picking for tomorrow (Wed. Aug. 19)? If you already told me I missed it somehow.

Orange Purse Revisited

2009-08-18T13:14:00.001-07:00

I know I'm way behind. My personal life had a meltdown, including my bf losing his job of 7 years. Now with him underfoot so much, it's hard to focus.

But today I worked some more on my orange purse. Still not done but I'll get some photos when we get home from the Japanese market.

I'm loving how she turned out, but after looking at her for a few seconds, i'm wanting to add color- perhaps by using some acrylic paints (since i don't have any spray paint)

I started on this purse while on the bus back home from California. It's about the size of a large orange, is made of 100% cotton and has a leaf- like drawstring.
I made the strap a tad too long, but it's nothing a knot can't fix =-)

New Proposal

2009-08-14T23:26:00.000-07:00

I propose that the last two days of each month be 'catch up' days to work on anything we had to skip or didn't quite finish. And for those rare individuals that are all caught up, well, they get two days off to relax.

Embroidered Love Machine

2009-08-14T23:21:00.000-07:00

I was tempted to go at this in several different ways and ended up settling on freehand embroidery on felt. I like this acrylic felt because it's made from soda bottles. I chose hot pink for 'love'. The stitches include split stitch, satin stitch, couching and french knots.

I'm sooo tired so I'm going to bed, but here is my fancy letter.

No Cake For Me

2009-08-13T01:03:00.000-07:00

No entry from me today. When we got home at midnight after visiting friends we found our living room, bathroom and bedroom soaking wet in places. Seems the upstairs neighbors had a toilet overflow and it must have overflowed for hours. Grrr. And they didn't call the landlord either so we'll have to call him in the morning.

Paradise "fruitcake" Cake

2009-08-12T22:31:00.000-07:00
