ruminating...

as you can see here, i've been busy creating promised wumpies and bunnies.  the only problem is, my little wumpy got claimed before i even had a chance to sew up his side seam.  maybe it was his greenish, nubby skin or perhaps it was the little green velvet wishing star in his back pocket.  so, i'm sorry to disappoint you, but he has already been adopted.  and my sweet bunny?  well, let's just say, velveteen bunny making did not go as planned.  and that happens sometimes.  you see - as i was creating this little velveteen bunny, i realized that her skin is really quite delicate and that she probably would not survive too long being loved in the way that she deserves to be loved.  and being the perfectionist that i am, i have decided that i cannot send her into the world in such a delicate state.  but don't worry, she will have a cozy corner to live here in the studio.  so, for now i am going to sit down with a fresh cup of tea and ruminate over these cozy red snowflake socks.  when, you look at them you probably think, "oh, what nice christmasey socks".  but i am thinking more along the lines of a christmasey sock monster...  i'll get back to you on that.
