It's astoundingly frightening to realize that it's been a little over 2 weeks since I posted about a (personal) fad.  Well, I have other current obsessions that I need to be sharing.

The hedgehog thing almost definitely started looking at Emily's pictures of roly-poly wee hedgehogs (scroll, people, scroll).

But then, of course, there's the ridiculously cute japanese fabrics.

Or, hey, hedgehogs in chocolate form (and Canadian - ha!).

Mrs. Tiggy Winkle was one of my favourites by Beatrix Potter - was she in the movie? Needing to re-watch it.

I really really hope the fact that I'm aiming for a handmade sort of holiday isn't coming as much of a surprise to much of anyone.  So I wandered over and added my name to the list at buyhandmade.org.  It's about time.

E.T.A. My lovely and amazing friend over here, pointed me in the direction of these (they're hiding!).

I tend to be overcome with obsessions from time to time - some long-lasting, some that come and go as seasons change.  Lately I've been becoming more and more enamoured of the glorious, if generally undercelebrated, pear.

As I am a person who loves to catalogue things, it is a fulfillment of a natural urge to make a list of the current sources of my inspiration.

I think you could say that it all started with a picture of Loobylu's pear - she's a couple of years old by now but still quite charming.

I crocheted up a little pear of my own using ana paula's cutie pattern.  But am I the only one who sees the possibilities of using Hilary's wee pattern for a similar purpose?

Am also I the only person who is sad enough to sit down with the pile of business cards & urls from the Sampler to see what pops up?  That's how I found this adorable pear pendant.

And I think this gourd bird house would look adorable in any front yard (oh that I had a front yard...)

Maybe apples can take a break this fall to make room for this pear crumble.  Or this one.  Yummy.
