http://angrychickenknits.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-sort-of-rocked-this-tinker-bell-cake.html
Saturday, June 23, 2012. I Sort of Rocked this Tinker Bell Cake. My daughter turned 4 last weekend. My sister and I have this tradition where we try to make an epic cake of the child's choosing every year. Usually we do okay, but this year, I must say we totally rocked it. My daughter requested a Tinker Bell cake, and after perusing Pinterest looking for ideas, we had a plan. We mixed up the frosting. Then after applying it, I did this new trick I learned here.

Angry Chicken Knits: January 2012
http://angrychickenknits.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 27, 2012. Crafting with the Munchkins- Valentine's Day Hearts. Thursdays are my day off, so this last Thursday, instead of baking like a crazy person like I normally do, the kids and I did a Valentine's Day craft. Two points for me right? I know it's just a craft, but it beats letting them eat their body weight in whatever dough we may be mixing up at the time. Anyways, I don't know where I saw the example of this craft at, but it's simple and fun. Here's what you need:. Monday, January 2...

Angry Chicken Knits: Dog Slippers for Babies
http://angrychickenknits.blogspot.com/2012/06/dog-slippers-for-babies.html
Friday, June 8, 2012. Dog Slippers for Babies. I have successfully made adorable dog slippers for a baby. I can know cross that off my bucket list. Okay, to be seriously, I had never really thought about dog slippers for babies until I came across the book called, Cutest Ever Baby Knits. And found this pattern in it. The timing was perfect since I had a baby shower I was suppose to go to that weekend. I whipped these slippers up in no time, and have to admit they are pretty darn cute. Follow me on Twitter.

Tim, we gotta get this podcast posted, but my knack for inventing a clever hook for the write-up is failing me. I just need that and we're set to go.

But we all know stories *cough* FernGully. That shove the meaning down our throats. They have an agenda- and you shall comply! Or at least feel angry and/or guilty when you leave the theater. But where is that line? When does the message of the story overtake the story itself? When does the agenda destroy the art? Loading the player . Im sti...
