Starts and Finishes

Last week's starts have all become finishes.

A cheerful little Christmas House-Head.

Disco-the-bird needed a wing transplant.

The first pair was too flamboyent, even for Disco.

And a little Santa bat.

Oh what, like that's so much less believable

than a fat man and flying venison??

Meanwhile. . .

Next week's finishes are still this week's starts.

We're all crazy proud of our talented little grump.

Best Laid Plans

This was the table on Saturday morning, everybody awaiting their faces and finishing touches. But if you wanna make God laugh, tell Him your plans. So it was that only three pieces were brought to life by Sunday (that weekly self-imposed deadline).

Today I'll be bringing the rest to life,

unless the world has other plans.

Heads Up

Just a reminder that the auctions for this week's batch (in all its Christmassy goodness) will be ending an hour early due to Daylight Savings Time.

There are a lot of good deals to be had.

Happy Halloween!

Banana is our resident mouse. Okay, she's actually a rat. A Dumbo Satin Rat to be more precise, but the kids agree that sounds rather insulting, so we all call her mousie. She is gentle, well-loved, has a very silly personality, and loves Cheerios.

The kids are too old for trick-or-treating
(or so I've been told),
so it's up to Banana to bring home the goods this year.

What she lacks in stature she makes up for in stealth.

 Fare thee well, Banana,

you noblest of creatures!

Ho-Ho-Halloween

This week's batch of critters

are getting into the Halloween groove.
