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???
