He Has Suffered For My Art

I'm not just a writer. I'm also a wife, mother, humbug, tap dancer, fry cook, cat petter, typing slave for Meankitty, and CRAFTER. In fact, last year I CRAFTED a magnificent thing -- a garment for the hubs to wear in the tacky Christmas sweater contest at his place of employment. This garment, which he dutifully donned, earned him first place last year.

This year, I was too busy CRAFTING gifts for the dance teachers at the studio, so I had no time to make a new sweater. Hubs had gotten a taste of first place, though, and couldn't bear to stand down from this year's contest at work. So he added another strand of twinkly lights to his sweater and wore it again.

Once again, he has taken first prize! He got a Snuggie. It was kindly suggested he retire the two-time gold medalist and decorate the Snug for next year's contest.

Can you IMAGINE what I can do with a Snuggie when I did this with a mere sweater?



The world may not be able to handle the gloriousness.

PS: Think this is the worst Christmas sweater you've ever seen? Try my new YA short story, The Worst Christmas, and compare! A sweater plays a significant role in there, too.
