Goddess-in-Training of Frog Hollow

Posted on/at 6:12 AM by The Goddess


The Goddessette . Yes, she's an odd one.


Take a minute to click on the thumbnail and take a look at what DD brought home from school today. They are studying frogs in first grade science. The Goddess-in-Training at Frog Hollow wants to be a tadpole because they're small and she draws awesome little one-eyed smiling frogs. I disagree with her answer on the multiple guess question. A frog grows from a tadpole to a mouthful!


Fussless in Seattle? (Booooooo....)

Can't get a decent shot of the gargoyle I made with the camera on the phone. I really need a decent camera. Will be borrowing one from a friend. Planning to list this and the bear on Etsy. DH fussed for about two seconds about me taking the bear back from him, until he heard how much I expect to be able to get for it. All fussing stopped. Abruptly. I should name him Fussypants in DH's honor. (Done!)
At any rate, I started here for inspiration and winged it from there. I'm really happy with the way he turned out. His wings are bluish and sparkly, made of Angelina. The rest is needle felted wool. One of my failed dye experiments. He even had a cute little gargoyle backside, and he's sitting on an broken old shank button I inherited from my mother. Bless her pointy pack rat head. I love you, Mother! Guess what? I inherited your pack rat gene.
Sorry folks, but it's true. You turn into your parents.
And WTH? My paragraph breaks are, well, broken. Hence the longest run-on thought ever.

Mr. Fussypants

Posted on/at 4:36 AM by The Goddess



Finished my needle felted bear last night. Didn't get a chance to take a picture until today. I really wish we had a decent camera. The one one DH's phone just doesn't do him justice.

He was surprisingly simple to make. Took me about two hours, total. I started with the instructions in the tutorial at Owning Alpaca and then altered him based on the Bumble Bear at Living Felt.

Gave him to DH for an early V-day present.
