Assuming my sleep cycle will right itself... here's a glimpse of what I'd really like for Christmas.
Clementines. Yum!

Wool roving for needle felting projects

Jewelry from Wilk Designs. But only these two items. The bubble ring and the bubble pendant. They are the coveted ones. I discovered these in July of 05 and still like them..
I also love a lot of the jewelry to be found on Etsy. Like the compass ring. Or their art or virtually any number of wonderful and cool handmade things.

I could swear that I once got one of those compass rings, exactly like the one pictured there, as the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.
Just out of curiosity, do you ever actually play any of those Dwight Yoakam CDs out loud, when and where other people might possibly be able to hear them by accident? ... :-)
See, now I just love the idea of a prize in the bottom of my Cracker Jack's. I think it's that sort of quirky Captain Underpants Hypno-Ring quality that cracks me up with the compass ring. So, obviously one shouldn't spend a bunch of money on such frivolity, but there is something about it that demands a big smile.
Did you read my Dwight Yoakam post ?
Did I read your Dwight Yoakam post? Nope, I hadn't before now. I think that must have been posted during one of the months I missed. I will admit that I find his CD, "The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam," a lot more palatable than "Dwight Sings Buck" or some of his other efforts. But that is probably just because his "Very Best of..." CD includes (and rather surprisingly so) cover versions of four of my favorite songs done by other artists: "Little Sister" and "Suspicious Minds," both done by Elvis Presley; "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," done by Queen; and "I Want You to Want Me," done by Cheap Trick. Of course, in all four cases, the original is the better version, but it's nice to see Dwight trying very hard to duplicate those songs as closely as he can.
But you still didn't answer my question. ... :-)
