gray day

It's downright gloomy out there today, and on these dark gray days my body doesn't seem to wake up properly. Right now Yoshi dog is curled up in a little ball of sleep which isn't making my plight to stay awake and productive any easier. My eye lids feel droopy.

On a much brighter day I took some photos of a project I was working on, a little tree stuffed toy I was making for Lieveke's 2nd birthday. And after I finished, Lies wrote her "little tree" post. I was so happy for the coincidence (fate?) for I had made a little tree for the little tree!

my inspiration came from a stuffed toy (on left) I saw at this etsy shop a little while back made by while she naps. you won't be sorry you checked out this master soft sculpture/toy maker's amazing work! my interpretation on the right.

When Lieveke opened it up, she exclaimed, "mushroom!" Close enough honey. In fact it could definitely pass as a mushroom.

some wrapping, a 2 for the big 2 year old.

I will let Lies tell you the rest about her little girl's special day.

Meanwhile I have done my fair share of receiving! Thanks to Bronwyn at R.W.Scissors for my charming new charm. because guns and love hearts are cool, as long as they are just pretend and only meant for adorning your mobile phone.


Melissa from Tiny happy sent me this dress! I died and went to heaven when I opened it and haven't fully recovered. I am still swooning! THANKYOU,THANKYOU,THANKYOU!!!! Alright, enough pictures of me, I am going into hiding for a while.

While its okay to be seen, I would rather be heard.
Yeah, I said that. my contribution to the GREAT blog sociological images

anyway, I am sure you would much rather see this....

take it Barack.
