The following 
first four photos
depict how my day transpired.
It all started in the bathroom...
where I very soon, 
began to feel 
a bit like
Edward Scissorhands.
Poodles 
were the only thing 
on my mind.
The kind that are beautifully clipped and groomed to resemble some sort of walking topiary shrub.
So I started
shaping, cutting, trimming, snipping...
snip...snip...snip
Believe me when I tell you 
that it was 
HARD work.
But the desired result
was achieved
eventually.
So, now for what 
really happened...
For the past few weeks,
I have been cutting and sewing,
and stuffing...
to enable me to get to this stage 
of the 
process.
See the bandaid 
on my blister...
I wasn't kidding 
about it 
being hard work.
This job 
takes many hours 
and 
creates 
a big mess!!
After a well earned break 
to stretch my legs 
and 
clean up the mess...
it is back to the 
grindstone once more, 
with a change of colour, 
to keep 
it interesting.
The pompoms 
start out 
quite lumpy and bumpy,
and require much 
snipping 
and shaping 
to make them look chic.
Yay... FINALLY
this job is finished!!!
All that remains now is for me to attach the tiny bows, 
and ribbon for hanging.
Ta Dah!
So that is what I did today.
Anyway...how did you spend your day???
