The first dinosaur!

The first dinosaur!

Originally uploaded by squeejay

My first dino! Very pleased with him, and intending on making loads more from the Jean Greenhowe toy book. They have a few species, and even some cave people that are 1 inch high! Not archaeologically accurate but I love the idea of wee people to have with the dinos.

I think this one might go to nephew number 1 :)

Made with peter pan double knit wool and 3mm needles – I think he took about 2 and half hours? Not sure because I was watching Hitman the mobie for some of that :)

Matt Damon – maybe, I’ll take all my bad comments about him back

with one comment

Sarah Palin. Again. Sorry. This really hacked me off though, even if only partially true.

Matt Damon, whom I previously really couldn’t stand, even the Bourne films I could only just watch, may have redeemed himself. In an interview with the Associated Press , available here, he talks about how he is worried her picking was like a “really bad Disney movie”. Although it is slightly let down by his referring to a hypothetical stand off between Vladimir Putin and Palin, the winning thing about this for me is to do with the Dinosaurs. Apparently, she reckons the dinosaurs were only around 4000 years ago, what with her creationist nonsense!

I’m off to find out more about this, because as Matt Damon says “she’s gonna have the nuclear codes”. Interesting idea. whilst he may still be a mad hollywood actor type, I slightly admire him now – for bringing the subject of dinosaurs up on the big political news!

It’d be nice to shove Palin in a Jurassic Park populated solely by Meatasaurus :)
