Last week I found a little green bug in the house that looked a lot like a baby praying mantis.
It was one of the few bugs in our house to see the outdoors again; Chris didn't kill it because he thought that it looked like a mantis.

I'm pretty sure that it was now- there's been a mantis and her... buddy hanging outside of our house for a few days. Yesterday she posed for a good long time. I got closer than I should have because I assumed that the praying mantis does not fly. I assumed wrong.

I think it'd be rather fun to leave a mantis on someone's screen door, ring the bell, and run away.






Yesterday we also went (back) to Northampton to see Ysolda speak at Webs. One of the things she spoke about was the importance of creating and photographing samples in larger sizes, and I really appreciate that. While it's nice to see how a sweater looks on a 34"-sized woman, I'd also like to see it on a 40. Hannah tried on a few things, and added more to her list of "knit me's". She also had Ysolda sign a post-it. :)
