Earthquake Rattles Northeast, but Little Damage Is Reported

SOCK BABY RATTLE... ADORABLE!

These "giant" adorable baby rattles came from a shop called... The Baby Gardner... which appears to no longer exist. If anyone knows otherwise please let us know! [Aside... when 4 year old Little Guy came for a visit last week he constantly substituted "giant" for "very". What can I say... I'm "giant" susceptible to these kind of things!]

It appears to be made from wee baby socks which are embellished with a few appliques and embroidery. Easy enough to figure out I dare say. I'm thinking the face is the heel of the sock and the bottom would be the sock opening. I'm guessing the hats were made from another pair of socks.

So, if you are looking for a cute and easy gift to make for a wee one, hope this gives you a bit of inspiration.

披頭的領袖藍儂也有王爾德的繡口。1963年末，四披頭參加御前的慈善綜藝表演，在演唱〈扭又叫〉一曲之前，藍儂上台對著麥克風說：「最後的一曲要請大 家幫忙。廉價座位的聽眾請鼓掌好嗎？其他的人不妨搖響你們的珠寶。」（Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.）當時皇太后與瑪格麗特公主也在場，引起哄堂大笑。

Iran test-fired nine missiles yesterday, including at least one capable of striking Israel. "Our hands are always on the trigger and our missiles are ready for launch," a top Iranian military leader said. U.S. officials tried to downplay the move, saying it demonstrates that Iran's missiles pose a real threat but essentially dismissing the tests as simple saber-rattling.
