Knitting Pretty

I recently found an absolutely adorable photo blog that happened to be linked on Cute Overload - one of my favorite cute sites. Well, this photo blog is now amongst my favorite cute sites too. It is called My Milk Toof and is done by an artist who puts together these gorgeous little stories involving a couple of baby teeth that have come back to her years after they left via being put under her pillow.

Two of the entries in particular have left an impression on me, in two separate ways. One, called Toof Cleaning, has left me childishly declaring 'Don't wanna' whenever I have to do something vaguely unpleasant. Though, proclaiming loudly through the house 'Don't wanna' actually helps me to get whatever I don't want to do done. Follow me there? By saying something so childish, and a little bit silly, I make myself giggle and feel just a little bit happier. So if I have to go and do dishes, and I announce that I 'Don't wanna' I feel much more amicable to just going and getting started.

The other post which has left an impression, I think mostly because I was already inclined towards this, is titled My Sweet Wilting Tree. In this one, Lardee - he's the sweet tooth, I think, because he's a little bigger than Ickle and likes sweet things - prescibes a rather sorry looking little plant some warm milk tea with lots of sugar. He also gives the little plant a warm blanket and sings to it. Yeah, that's almost painfully cute. Back to what I was saying, that whole sweet tea making you feel better thing really does work for me. If I am feeling a bit on the nauseous side, or a bit tired and grumpy, or whatever, sweet tea makes me feel better. So check out that blog, because it really is delightfully cute! 

Of course it is now time for today's pattern... I think we have to go with a tooth faerie pillow today, don't we? Yes, yes we do! So here is a cute little tooth pillow to knit up. But I think I would make this one with a cute little stitched on face on the front, too. I just think it would have more character that way.
