This isn't for you, unless it is.

I’m so happy to welcome Omelette to our family! He loves to nom on flowers and play in the ferns and generally get himself as messy as possible. Molly wasn’t too sure what to make of Omelette at first, but he now tolerates Omelette’s presence, especially if they are just soaking up the spring unshine.

I knew as soon as I saw this yarn (Lion Brand Landscapes Renewed Yarn Sherbet) it would be perfect for Omelette’s rosy maple moth colours. He’s entirely made without a plan or pattern. My first attempt was… disturbing… (think chest-burster) but I’m pretty happy with how he turned out! When starting to brush out his tail and ‘mane’ I was disappointed to discover that the yarn base is a mesh tube instead of strands, but the resulting texture seems very accurate to the description of Omelette’s pupating state 😂

That's why I see tired parents looking for affordable used castles at my realty agency every weekend. I have to be the one to tell them, which is hard on me, and possibly not great for my karma. Sorry, bro, your ancestors didn't get here for well over a thousand years past the best-before date on siege warfare, there's no way you can get your kid into even a tiny Norman battlement for $250k. Then they ask me: do you know any castle-building contractors? To this, I say... yes.

Now, modern castles are a lot different from your classic iron-age stuff. A lot of people complain that they don't look the same, but the divine right of kings (and even minor lords) did not offer a lot of room for the development of land use bylaws. If you built a full-size keep, or even a kinda shitty abbey, this close to the airport? The courts are gonna split you in half way before the property tax becomes due. Realistically, your new castle is going to look a lot like your standard single-family suburban home but with some parapets on it. Don't start with the drawbridge shit, okay? We've all heard it.
