the light is changing, signaling changing of the seasons. i get a melancholy feeling when the sun sets so much earlier now than summer. geese frequently fly over head and a part of me tugs to fly away with them. suddenly i'm asking "who wants hot chocolate? :) hope you're sailing smoothly into autumn as october is just hours away.
here's the little spookies i was talking about earlier this week! baby BOOdha bear triplets in BOOtiful purple tie dyed mohair. each has unique markings so they're one of a kinds! they are very special and available now on my web site.
woof woof! i'm an antique, circa 1930's mohair pekingese dog. i make a loyal companion for teddy bears and humans :) will you give me a kind loving home? dogs like me with the glass googley eyes don't come around very often! catch me now on ebay!

when you see the 2-story high inflatable spiderman, you know it's gonna be a loud one. earplugs will be under my pillow tonight...
brought this one home from dinner the other night. especially for those of us who work solo, like i do, it's a nice reminder to enjoy one's own company. play a little music, get outside for a few minutes, make some tea. hope your september is off to a nice start... wow, september already??
an old college buddy of mine found her dear old pegasus who was in need of some TLC. she gutted/ washed him and mailed me his "skin" for restoration. originally he was very overstuffed and wired to stand. my friend wanted him to be more cuddly and able to sit this time around. so i reinforced some loose seams, rag stuffed his body for nice weight, put pellets in his hooves + lower legs with polyfil in the thighs, reattached the wings as was originally, and sewed him up. doesn't he look happy and fresh? he's ready for take off!
