check out this giveaway....

Hurry over to Shelley's blog and get in on a great giveaway!  Make a cute little dolly with her pattern.
We all need one of these to carry around don't we?

Look at the sweet little gals she makes...  I'm waiting for a certain other little bear or kitty to appear on her site.... so I can buy one.

Well, that was pretty funny.  Mary Ann guessed right off.  Rumpelstiltskin.   But, maybe I should have chosen something or someone with a much simpler name!  Every time I write it... which, of course, now is quite often...  I have to look back at it, say it out loud to nobody in particular, and assure myself it's correct!

I put on ears and baked him...but, kind of forgot about him because I was on the treadmill.... jumped off and raced upstairs just in the  nick of time....whew...only the tips of his ears got over toasted.  And...in the long run...I could have left him a few more seconds to a minute longer anyway.  He would have been a bit browner on the tips and perhaps a perfect colour.

As it is...I did some painting... with several shades of pinks, browns, and yellows to get what I liked for his face, lip and mole colours.

It is a bit difficult to get a perfect shot that shows the real life colours.... but, ehhh...you get the idea.





























Still a bit more work to do on the colouring.... but, he's close.... and, of course....some hair..... hmmm...but, what...I'm off to have a look in my stash of goodies...
