Battlestar Galactica series finale party

I made Eye of Jupiter dip. Sour cream in a circle of guacamole (with blue food coloring ... didn't look too bad in person) in a circle of salsa in a circle of yellow chips. Mmmm-mmm. Fracking delicious.

And Cylon Raider rolls. They're crescent rolls filled with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella. The eye is a strip of pepperoni.

Adama and Roslin

The Lords of Kobol dig crochet. So say we all.

This was a gift for my son's preschool teacher. She and I talk about the BSG episode every week when I drop the kids off, and all the other parents look at us and no doubt think, "You're chatting about a show about genocidal robots? At a preschool? Really?" The show is taking a break until January, so I made Teacher Ruth these dolls to get her through the withdrawal.I'm not crazy about how the Admiral's hair turned out (a little black helmet, for crying out loud), but I was pretty happy with the method I used for Laura Roslin's hair (a method I first encountered in "Creepy Cute Crochet"). I went sort of a minimalist route with details. I mean, Roslin wears a black mini and a jacket, and pumps -- no problem. But Adama's uniform? I could totally have gotten carried away with trim and the belt buckle and the boots ... but then I never would have finished!
