Addiction

I make a point

of staying away from fabric stores.

All that material is magnetic

to my eyes and my fingers.

I collect fabric.

I don’t like sewing.

I’m just addicted

to the

colour & texture.

I know my weakness.

I have not entered a fabric store all year.

I already have enough

for three lifetimes.

At this last minute, I decided that I need to make

my grandbabes a Christmas stocking.

I kept piling the fabric on the table.

The clerk asked what I was making.

‘Christmas Stockings.’  I replied.

‘HOW MANY?’  she questioned.

‘Just five.’

She sighed and started cutting.

I sighed too.

Sucked me in again.

One Last Set

The last set of the year

that will be emigrating to

the US of A.

Five days til Christmas Eve...

time for me to start my preparations. 

Staying Close By

This piece is not going very far from home at all.

He’s staying in Avonbank,

just down the road

a bit.

Packing

I really love the task of packing up my creations

to send off to their new home.

It's not something that I rush through.

I take great care to

wrap each one carefully and lovingly.

It’s the last time I’ll see them after

all that time we spend together.

I love to imagine them arriving;

The box being opened;

The packages unwrapped.

My hands to their hands.

My home to their home.

My heart to their heart.

It’s a funny thing to imagine

something you’ve created

in someone else's home.

A lovely & wonderful thing.

Done

I’d like to get paid

to do a Study.

How many people

really know the difference

between a

Mule and a Donkey.

A Mule is not a Donkey.

A Donkey is not a Mule.

But in my humble opinion,

Both are pretty cool.

Okay … sorry.

After all that it entails to list 15 things at once,

my brains are

fried.

This is the LAST one.

You’re likely as relieved as

I am.

(when I went to add the link,

I discovered that I had not

Put this listing up at all!

I put the Dapple Gray up TWICE!

Oh yeah – The End

came just in time!)

"DRIVE DOBER"

Extinct

Many years ago,

when I had my store,

I had a source for these

sweet polar bears.

I bought a half dozen

from a place in

British Columbia.

This is my very last little guy.

I wish

he wasn’t extinct.

"NORTH POLAR BEAR"

He's getting to go somewhere that I've always wanted to visit ... Hyannis, Massachusetts.

Lucky bear.

Someone Got My Goat

Kinda Cool

I have always had traditional actions

with Ebay.

It is totally interesting & entertaining

to watch the bidding,

and a big surprise

with what it brings.

I must say though, this

 ‘Buy it Now’

was pretty cool.

This guy was

SOLD

before I could even get it

Here.

He's flying off to Saskatoon!
