My yard is a swamp so I can't let my terrier hoard out to run & bark. or else they'd be covered every inch with Mud too. So instead we go out front and they follow me to the studio & whine about not being able to run.flyingbeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552477017906406473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270328419517591210.post-89313177813827956342011-04-20T06:24:37.753-06:002011-04-20T06:24:37.753-06:00snow is beautiful...but cold...and i'm weary o...snow is beautiful...but cold...and i'm weary of the cold. it was so nice for a few weeks. signs of spring were peeking out from under the dull landscape of winter. now snow. and not just snow, but slush and sleet...the worst kind, if one was going to place judgement upon it. ah well, it'll melt and spring will saunter forward into summer!<br /><br />the critter is nearly done. turned out larger than i expected and so took most of the night to stitch by hand and stuff. still have to finish stuffing the legs and then assemble the bits and pieces into some semblance of order. then, lastly, give him a face. i know many do this early on...but i've always done the faces last. it's a throwback from my bearmaking days in the 80's and early 90's. for me, the personality takes residencey with the face...and i just can't bring myself to stick 'em with a needle once that happens...call me crazy...<br /><br />one more half hour and then i get to go home and sleep a while. finally! i can almost feel that soft bed and pillow beneath me already. then i'll finish up the critter in the evening and post him and fortune cookie wisdom wednesday before going back to bed. <br /><br />(sigh) i have to slow down...or i'll never get anything done! ha!Joe Madlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689856999523884499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270328419517591210.post-48747731260998726762011-04-20T05:19:42.359-06:002011-04-20T05:19:42.359-06:00One step forward two steps back.
