Afternoon or is it nightime..just starting to get dark...got my supplies as planned but have to tell you a story..thought why not put a kit together and get post office to give me an estimate of cost...so I pick Liz because she's in Calf. ok. $17.97 so I look at the piece and say why not cut off his head to the package isn't as long..cut off his head you say??? well it only means I put a dowel in head and body for it to be attached, after all there will be a scarve around his neck..lol..so this I did before heading into town..know it would be a little cheaper across the border so that's ok, then it comes to me, I'll have the wood playned just a bit thinner - mostly because some of it has dimentional layers .. TimBrr told me that likely no one would be in the shop to playne the wood but as the good Lord would have it, my young friend who is so helpful was there..got it done, now I'm wondering if I did it just a bit too thin..can test cut one now because I've white material and fur from one end of the craft room to the other...

SIL (also cousin) dropped in because she wants to do an easy craft (says she is not crafty at all) so set aside my sewing, did some iris folding christmas cards with her and she was thrilled with the outcome..watch out Michaels, bet she'll be there by 6pm purchasing materials..lol...

So it's back to creating, I work, Missy tests the softness of the fabric..lol
