Day 55

Here are the critters!  Well, critter prototypes in muslin.

L-R:  Prototype one, stencil, and the much better prototype two.  They are unstuffed and faceless, but, I am just getting the sewing bit down.  I know how to embroider the eyes, nose and mouth.  

Day 54

Critter creation in progress (okay, the shot is a little staged, but, I made the object!).  Notice the theory book in the background?  Yes, the husband was quizzing me while I worked.

Day 53

I recently signed up for something called a "Critter Swap."  Basically, you send someone a hand-made critter and someone sends one to you.  In order to make a critter, you get information on your person.  Based on that, you create.  I have never sewn anything in my life (other than a button).  This is the drawing and the stencil for my critter.

Day 52

I love thistles!  I found these while walking the dogs. 

Day 51

I was reflecting on objects that meant a lot to me.  My wedding ring means quite a bit.  It is my grandmother's diamonds and the white gold from her ring, but, re-designed for me.  I love that it carries 63 years of a loving marriage in it.  I also love it because it symbolizes how much I love my husband.  And, it is just really purty! 

Day 50

I just love that I have to retake a driving test after driving for over a decade...sigh....

Day 49

Buster got the yogurt pot.  It was really yummy, as you can see.  He wasn't going to let go!
