We had a lovely easter with lots and lots of food and only a few sugar related meltdowns. I finished the bunny bowling pins in time, but couldn't get the ball to turn out round, so we just used a ball we already had. It turns out he idea of bunny bowling is much more exciting then the actual thing. I weighted down the bunnies a little too much and it takes quite a bit of force to knock the damn things down (you can see my son just gave up on the ball and used his little head). Oh well, my kids don't really understand what bowling is anyway. And they make excellent whappers.

I started this digger almost a year ago (it's nice to have a record of the things you make, but it's not so nice to see just how long you can procrastinate) and it should be in the shop later today.  It's funny how my tastes have changed in a year. I wanted to rip up all the patchwork and start again, but then it would have sat around another year I'm sure.  A lot of the scraps came from my first big sewing project (and my first big post). I think it's time I cleaned out my scrap box and made a quilt. Or an army of patchwork diggers.

*My site was a little messed up this past week--if you couldn't leave a comment or find a post I'm sorry. My genius of a husband fixed it all, so comment away.

I've been gone for a little longer than I expected. Right after I wrote that last post, my computer died (maybe my computer reads my blog). So I learned to live without internet for a while, which was probably a good thing. My handy dandy husband wrassled up a computer for me to work on and I'm figuring out all new ways to do all the old things.  While I was away from the internets, we took a fantastic trip to a foreign land.  I'll be back tomorrow to tell a bit about it, but now I'm going to bed because right when we got back I got the flu. ugh.

This was supposed to be the fourth moustachioed plush (the others are here) but I just can't decide if I like it or not.  It was definitely a pain in the butt to make. It took forever to try to make the face at least a little three dimensional and after I gave up I realized how I should have done it (though now I forget) and then all the fussy cuts.  He does have a little body that's done and his legs are in pieces, but I just don't know if it's worth it to put him together. His face is so flat that it reminds me of a tiki doll. The moustache helps--it's a bushy Tom Selleck number--but I still don't know. What do you think? Should I sew him up and put him in the shop or scrap it and start over?

Errol, the chicken, is packed up and ready to go to Brooklyn.  He'll be at Fact & Fancy, a new gallery/shop started by two lovely ladies from Etsy.  Rudolpho and Werner will be there too. I'm very excited about this, but right now I'm just tired.

good night.
