Mica
Kelly’s holiday sweatshop is in full swing, and I just enlisted a little helper.
Meet Mica, another Soto Softies creature (recall Igor, the stuffed praying mantis. Rob’s still scratching his head about that one). Maritza’s softies are so cute and so incredibly well made, it’s a wonder that I don’t have an army of them by now.
Mica arrived last week, and I’ve already put her to good use.
She’s almost at the toe for a pair of socks for my mother-in-law. I’m sort-of-maybe a bit behind on my ambitious schedule of holiday crafting, but I will not be deterred. You can expect to see a bevy of finished objects next week!
Here she’s helping Rob write a final exam. She has an amazing knowledge of robotics, who knew? I don’t recall if I ever mentioned it here, but Rob is teaching a class on top of his full-time work at a certain space agency. The semester’s almost over, and I for one welcome the return of Rob’s free time!



She is amazing! What will she do next?? What doesn’t she know? Robotics! Knitting!
So cute! Love her.
I so do not miss final exams and end-of-semester papers.
Good thing you’ve both got a little helper to speed things along.
She is absolutely adorable!!!
Super cute!! And handy too.
A knitting helper–brilliant! I wish I had thought of it.
‘Tis the season for writing final exams. A certain member of my household was up all night finishing his.
Mica is a livin’ doll!
Holy crap–the softies can knit? I DO have an army of them–why haven’t they been earning their keep?
That is SO cute!
Too cute! And how nice to have the help ;)
She’s darling! (and such a truly useful gal…)
Here’s to the return of free time! Wh00t!
She’s so cute! OMG, I want one!
