Stuffing, Stuffing, Stuffing.

I bet you were thinking food! Well, I will be making a few pies for Thanksgiving but as of right now I'm stuffing wiener dogs, cats and dinos! A bit of a jump start on some handmade Christmas gifts.

A striped wiener for Rubes.

A soft teal wiener for Teo.

A red fleece wiener for Conrad.

A wacky zig-zag wiener for my nephew lil' Ben. (His big brother, Will, received his last year... the first one I made!)

I gave this wool cat to a friend for her recent birthday. I put some goodies in the little side zipper pocket.

A dino for Teo. He named him "Ned" from his favorite PBS show Dinosaur Train.

And when do I make all these you ask? In the evening with my new wiener dog "Maisy" curled up in my lap of course.

Music...

The creative process intrigues and inspires me. I've always enjoyed the "process" of creating something. The guts of a project. Anyway, I'm loving this song... thinking I may ask for this CD for the holidays. (Hard to believe it's right around the corner!)

Blog Award

I was given an award from my friend Jen about a week ago. I'm trying real hard to follow the rules. See, she's a great person/friend and responsible for this blog's recent upgrade! However, I am horrible at passing things along, forwarding emails and chain letters of any kind. Besides I stalk blogs. In Blog Land my friends are rather limited. Sad but true. Carrying on...
