In what has apparently become a Christmas tradition, the granddaughter requested that I tie a large toy fly for her to play with. She specifies the colors, materials (after pawing through my supplies) and general design (she likes dragonflies, mostly), and I have to come up with something that is durable enough to last for at least a few days of abuse (after cutting the hook off, of course). Here is this year's result, along with a pose with the designer. I was told that insects on Venus have at least 12 legs, or that the trout there can't count any better there than those here on Earth. She wanted the legs hanging down, inspired by a character from the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

And yes, the wine was mine - not hers.
