Happy Thanksgiving - see you next week!

I'm outta here until next week - going South to the warm sunshine for the Thanksgiving Holiday to be with family. I'm going to go bonkers not being able to play with my clay for so long, and I'm going to miss our two little fur babies. :(
For those of you in the states, I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving Holiday. And don't forget to be thankful for your furry loved ones (and maybe even save them a little Turkey too).

Just a Sad Little Poem :((

I wish someone would tell me
What it is that I've done wrong.
Why do I have to stay chained up
And left alone so long?

They seemed so glad to have me
When I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do
While I was growing up.
But now the Master "hasn't time"
The Mistress says I shed.
She doesn't want me in the house,
Not even to be fed.
The children never walk me.
They always say, "Not now".
I wish that I could please them.
Won't someone tell me how?

All I had, you see, was love-
I wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted mine,
And then left it on a chain.

This poem made me pull out a bunch of cat toys and play with my poor neglected kitties, LOL. I hope it will make others want to hug their furry little babies or play with them or take them for a walk or just pay a little extra attention to them.

Little picnic mouse is now furred - Now Rated G

Ok, the little fella is decent now with his nice new fur, and let me tell you something....I LOVE this bamboo viscose yarn! The alpaca I usually use is nice, but this is so silky and soft and not only that, it is so much easier to handle. It seems to lay nicer without all the fly-aways that I normally spend forever trimming away on the alpaca. It also seems to work nicer for the flocking. I'm just really bummed that I can't find any other colors of it besides bright pink, blue, green, etc.

Naked Picnic Mouse

LOL, yes another naked critter for your viewing pleasure. He should be fully furred sometime this weekend if all goes well.
This time when I took the photos, I took Robin's advice about a "scenic background", and though I didn't have a picture of anything, I have this reptile terrarium decoration that you can kind of see in the background. But I also realized another thing. The colors don't quite get all crazy when I use the normal macro mode instead of the macro zoom mode - weird.
I'm kind of looking forward to furring this mouse because I'm trying a different material that I haven't used before. It looks like it might lay really nicely, but I never know for sure until I try it.

3/4 Inch Squirrel with Acorn

AAAAAARRRRGGG!!! He is sooooo hard to photograph!! I'm not sure why, but I give UP!! :(
It's been one of those days where nothing seems to go right, LOL.

Little Baby Owl....

...for anybody whoooo gives a hoot. Very bad pun, I'm so sorry about that!

Newborn Bundle of Joy in a Shell

Just finished this little baby mouse sleeping in his shell... well not a real shell, a clay walnut shell crib / bassinet / cradle .... whatever you call a baby's bed thing.
And...........yep, that's about it. :-P
(I should be a writer, don't you think?)

Another pajama baby (with an enormous head, LOL)

I wanted to make just one more pajama baby before getting back to work on some more mice. This guy ended up a bit smaller than the bunny (well, except for his frickin' big head), he's less than 3/4 inch to the tip of his ears.
