I hope you’re all enjoying this descent into madness.

The important thing to remember is what while I can’t sing, neither can eels, so this little jingle is very scientifically accurate.

So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You don’t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

I know they’re closer to Octopi than Squid but I think they’d be fun to squish so I drew a vampire squid too.

Some people doodle. My mother-in-law sews. Happy world squid and cuttlefish day!

A homemade green squid plushie with orange trim. Probably not anatomically correct. He's more than 2 meters from... um... the top body part to the bottom body part.

I can't doodle worth a darn but I can cross stitch! I finished this earlier this year. Pattern from London's Natural History Museum: www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/cro...

Cross stitch of a Giant Squid. Squid is in shades of orange. The two longest tentacles are held up in a semicircle while the rest dangle below. There is some white detailing on the ends of the longest tentacles and top of the fins. Stitched on navy blue Aida fabric.
