Today, I was trying to get some weaving done when...
"Hey Holly, whatcha doin'?" "Ack! Oh, hey Alfonso! I didn't see you there!"
"What the heck are these supposed to be?" "Oh, I'm making a weave that has cupcakes on it." "...these don't look like cupcakes..."
"Well, I accidently threaded the loom backwards, it's my first time trying this design, so the cupcakes on the backside instead." "...Oh! THERE'S the cupcakes!"
Ippalita: "Cupcakes? Where??" Alfonso: "Right there, Ippy! On the weave!"
"Did somebody say cupcakes?!" Me: "Well, yes Filomena, but they're not real cupcakes..."
Flavio: "....I like apples..." Me: "GAH! Holy crap, Flavio, don't scare me like that!" Flavio: "Hi."
Filomena: "Hey, lookit me! I'm being woven into the trim!" Ippalita: "Heee! You're silly!" Me: "C'mon Mena, get out of there before your fur gets tangled into the string..."
Ippalita: "Speaking of string, look at all this string! This one matches my colours!" Filomena: "This one matches my red plating!" Alfonso: "...why did I get stuck with pink? I feel so...girly..."
Flavio: "I got lots of string." Me: "...that's my discard pile, Flavio."
Ippalita: "You're so weird, Flavio..." Flavio: "You want me, don't you?" Ippalita: "...and a creeper! Eww, no!"
Afonso: "Hey Holly, what's this?" Me: "That's a trim that I finished a few days ago." Alfonso: "Wow,really? I wanna see!"
Ippalita: "Me too! I'll help you out, Al!" Me: "Guys, no!"
Alfonso: "Wow, this is really long trim!" Filomena: "I'm not too fussy on the colours, personally..." Flavio: "It has yellow in it." Me: *sigh* "Come guys, out you go...I have to re-roll it back up again..."
Filomena: "Hey, look what I found!" Alfonso: "What is it?" Filomena: "I dunno, it looks like a hook of some kind..."
Flavio: "It's a nose-picker." Filomena: "Wait...what??" Ippalita to Alfonso: "I don't think he knows what he's talking about..." Flavio: "Yeah, it's a nose-picker. See, I'll show you..." Me: "Flavio NO! That is NOT a nose-picker, it's my crochet hook! C'mon guys, I'm trying to get some work done here!"
Ippalita: "Ooo, can we watch??" Filomena: "Yeah, can we?" Alfonso: "We promise to be good and not get into mischief!" Flavio: "Promise." *creepy grin* Me: "Ok, you can watch me weave, as long as you behave." Everywyrm: "Yay!!"
So they watched me weave, asked a few questions as I went along, and eventually they got bored and fell asleep. Sometimes these little guys keep me on my toes!
