MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Wishing all of you the happiest of Holidays and the best New Year!!

Splish Splash, a Walnut Shell Bath

Another walnut shell and mouse - didn't I tell you there were endless possibilities for a walnut shell, LOL. Well, it's not a real walnut of course, but they're pretty simple to make in clay.
I decided to make a little mushroom stand for this one since I know that the owner won't be displaying it inside a dollhouse. :-)

And here's the last of 'em! Now I HAVE to get some Christmas shopping done!

And I'm really dreading it. But only 10 days left, so got to get my butt in gear!

Little hopper's done! One little mouse left to go!

It pretty much takes me a full day to fur, and that's for the tiny ones. Now I remember why I really like doing one animal at a time - it's not as tedious. Tomorrow is the little mouse's turn. You thought he looked skinny before? Check out how skinny he looks next to his two furred pals. And his eyes look huge too, LOL.

Tiny Raccoon Furred and My New Ugly Glasses

One down, two to go! I think this guy is the smallest of the three (3/4 inch to the tip of his ears). For the photos, I included my ugly reading glasses I bought at the drugstore recently. I could tell my eyes seemed to be getting worse since I've been making these little guys, and I finally broke down and bought a pair of cheapo glasses. WOW though! What a difference! Crap, I'm getting old! LOL

More Nudes (3 new pre-furred teeny tinies)

I normally make just one at a time because I'm impatient to see the final outcome. But I've got three in the works to try to save a little time so I can get some Christmas shopping done (and gifts made). The raccoon and mouse are 3/4 inch tall and the bunny is about 3/16 inch tall. This will be the smallest raccoon I've tried to fur, so he might end up in the trash, lol. By the way, is anybody else starting to feel the stress of Christmas? :-(

Little Girl Bunny

And yes again, I had to resort to making her dress from clay! :(
I TRIED to use real fabrics, and despite my frustration and rising blood pressure, I thought it was going to look okay until after a while the ends that I had treated with "Fray Check" began to fray (Arrrrrgh!!!). That's when I gave up, LOL!

Weeeeeee Mouse

Wow, it feels like forever since I visited blogland but it hasn't even been two weeks (eeek, I think I may be a blog addict). Well one big Holiday down and one to go, and I don't know about you guys but I am sooooo not ready for Christmas this year! I can't believe another year has already passed.
I just finished this little squeaker. I made several walnut shells in different sizes because there really is an unlimited use for them when it comes to mice. They can be used for a bed, a sled, a boat, a motorcycle side car, lol...to name just a few.
