Another Rose
I decided that I liked the look of the single rose of this one so much that I should make another. Here is the first one with the earrings I made to go with ☺ ↓ ↓ ↓

I think he loves me.
These arrived at work today. I haven't received flowers from my husband for several years. He used to send me flowers all the time, for all the "right" occasions: Valentines Day, Birthday, Anniversary ... you know the ones I mean. I finally told him that as much as I appreciated the thought, if he was going to spend that much money on a gift for me, I would like it to be on something that would last longer than a week. After that the flowers stopped and the "What do you want for your birthday?" started. For a few years I tried the "I don't care." approach. Then one year for Christmas he bought me a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. Wel l l l l l l.... I already had a pair of diamond earrings that he had bought me a few years earlier and what am I going to do with two pair of diamond earrings anyway? Soooooo..... I asked him if he would be really upset if we returned the earrings and bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner that I had been eyeing...
My Little Dormouse
Meet My Little Dormouse. I usually don't try to copy or "reproduce" anything with my clay, like This . I'm NEVER please with the results and I usually pick the piece apart so bad that by the time I finish finding all of the things that are wrong with it, it's almost embarrassing. ( I am a perfectionist, a very bad trait that I am trying to squish like a bug) That being said, I could easily pick this piece apart, but there are enough things I like about it that I'm just going to ignore the rest. This little guy told me he wanted to be a trinket box.
This and that.....
This picture makes me feel all squishy inside, in a good way :-) This is a photo of an actual hibernating Dormouse. You can read the cute story behind the picture here. My honey has decided to go play in the snow this weekend and since I finally finished my commission piece, I want to play this weekend too. I've made a few small roses. So how hard can it be to make a larger rose and plunk a bundle of adorableness into the middle of it? We'll see how that goes. And after that, I think I will finish this: Does he look like a Moloodoe? Name courtesy of papermasks http://crochetcultist.com Thanks :-)
