If I had to choose an animal motif to embroider onto my clothes, I claim the narwhal. What an amazing creature.

Another overshirt, from heavy 100%-cotton flannel from Jo-Ann’s! I cut this along the same lines as my corduroy one, only a little longer and with less-extreme collar points.
Not a lot to say here: simple, continuous sleeve plackets made with selvage-cut pieces of fabric; just one breast pocket, because pattern matching is a huge pain in the butt with this stuff. Speaking of pattern matching, though: you can’t see it from this photo, but the plaid of the yoke, collar stand, and collar all match almost exactly. I’m proud of that. And I love the way the plaid sits on the collar points. This is a really fun shirt.

I’m sure you’ve heard it said that appearance doesn’t matter so much, and that it is what’s on the inside that counts. This is of course, utter nonsense, because if it were true then people who were good on the inside would never have to comb their hair or take a bath, and the whole world would smell worse that it already does.Lemony Snicket (via )

Little Tao Tao was born to his captive-bred mother Cao Cao last year. To prevent him from getting used to humans, since his birth staff have only ever approached him while wearing completely inconspicuous panda suits and have observed him and his mother from afar. As such they are hoping that he will adapt to life in the wild.
Since his birth Tao Tao has been learning all the behaviours pandas need in the wild, such as walking, climbing trees and looking for food. When he was six months old he and his mother were moved into a large mountainous area for more intensive wild habitat training. Tao Tao now weighs 25kg and is displaying wild panda habits, such as climbing trees and looking for food and water.
