It Started With The Twins…

Last year my niece had twins. I wanted to make something nice for them, so I chose little dresses and cardigans. When I finished with the outfits, there was still some yarn and ribbon leftover. That led to this:

I used the yarn and ribbon and some fabric from my stash to make these. They were donated to the church to help new mothers in need.

You’re lucky I’m a good boy or I would have chewed up those dinosaurs.

My motives were not entirely altruistic, however. I counted the materials I used in my One Thing Each Day challenge.

******************

I know some of you have wondered what happened to us. Murphy is fine. Me not so much. In extremely rare cases, psoriasis can go to the eyes. I can’t win even a scratch off lottery ticket, but somehow I can do this.

Anyway, right now the glare from computer screens is too much for me for more than a few minutes at a time, so I can’t do Bitey Dog (or do online banking or file taxes. Eek!). As soon as I feel better, we’ll be back to telling bitey stories! 😊

    What beautiful dresses and cardigans! 😍The shoes and dinosaurs are adorable!

    Nox agrees with Murphy, those dinosaurs look like they would be fun to chew! She was impressed with the picture, “you look a lot like me! “

    I am so sorry about your eyes. I hope it isn’t permanent and you recover quickly. (Hugs)

    Wow…those eye problems are NOT the way 2026 is supposed to start and I hope the problems clear as quickly as possible. Meanwhile I continue to be in awe at your creative and craft skills and look forward to receiving a cardigan in my size next time you have a h.u.g.e. amount of left over materials. Please do not send dinosaurs as I cannot guarantee their safety in my present environment.
