Why is it??

Well !!  that was annoying.  I saved the post I was working on; went away to put in some laundry ... came back to finish my post and lo and behold...there was just the first sentence!  I guess I didn't wait long enough for blogger to do it's "saving" .... sigh.....  You know how it goes.  Well, maybe you have better memory than I... but, for me, once I've written it out I promptly "give it up".   Like water off a duck.  Gone.

I think I was musing about how our homes have stuff all over them.  Know what I mean?  You do if you craft, are artsy, sew or are a DIY'er... even if you have a "dedicated" room for your fun and games ... "stuff" just seems to follow us wherever we go in a house.   Well, I suppose it doesn't actually follow us... we usually carry it around like pets or something.  Although most of my "Stuff"... does have legs...maybe it could be following me .... now I'll be looking over my shoulder!

See what I mean?  My new little bunny.. a leg and a head under Tina's left arm... while the Original Brocade Bunny hangs out for inspiration.  All of it just hanging out on the dining table... and that is just one corner of the table...so don't be saying how tidy it is.  And.. I'm not showing the coffee table, the kitchen table and counters and the actual dedicated room.  And.. oh, oh .., yes..I did buy some new "Point-2-of-a-metre" pieces of fabric.  The smallest cut we can buy from Fabricland..they probably hate to see me show up. And... more buttons.  One can never have too many buttons can one? As if I need any more goodies.  What I really should do is give most of it away.  I'm never going to use it all in a million years.

Maggi, my only doll and bear making buddy, came over for a play day last week.... we yakked, had nibblies and started a bunny from the old pattern.  I know...I'm so lucky that I actually have one person that can relate to what I like to do..other than Mr. BV of course (...who is really my biggest cheerleader  and who does know quite a lot about all of it).  He has had many a great idea to add to my endeavours.   So many have nobody at all to share their passion with.  How I wish airfare was cheap!  What a blast we could all have traveling to visit and play!  In the long run all the airlines would probably make money because they would be flying with full planes instead of making half empty runs...  maybe we should all write letters to them.

I'm waiting for a photo of Maggi's bunny to put here    { ......  }

   ....hers is already finished!  And...really cute.

Here is mine....

Still a pile of body parts.  Poor little guy.. or gal. This brocade is beautiful.. but not very colourful with the off white body.  And..it was tricky to sew too... therefore taking waaay too much time on a simple little make.  If I get it finished today...I think I might cut out more body parts ... with more colourful fabric for ears....
