Oodles of Poodles

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???

  2. YOU ARE UNREAL!! !YOU MADE ALL OF THESE BY HAND? Yes dearest, I do believe your asking price must be altered. If you want to get a load of some CHEEK, see how much I am asking for my shoes, but when you consider the TIME, well, only those who really want them will understand.

    YOU ARE AMAZING. I just added some tags to my shop from a drawing I just did...just to have fun.

    WELCOME BACK MY DEAR! Anita

  9. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to
    share it with someone!

  18. I don't know whether it's just me or if everyone else encountering issues with
    your website. It appears as if some of the written text on your posts are running off the screen.
    Can somebody else please comment and let me know if
    this is happening to them too? This may be a problem with my browser because I've had this happen previously. Cheers
