After almost a year of waiting and “in the back of our minds” anxiety, Isabel’s adoption is finally finished. Yippee! She is now an official member of our family (not that she wasn’t before… but now we have the oodles of paperwork to prove it.) This is a picture of her trying on Daddy’s winter hat. She has a smile that makes me so happy it hurts.
This is Alfred, the blue chicken. He used to be Alfred, the really sad chicken, until one day he figured out how to push out all of his blues. Now he is a super happy chicken who loves to go roller skating and eat cake. The only side effect of the oodles of happiness he now feels is the soft blue color of his feathers. It took a little getting used to at first but he really likes it now. Besides making him incredibly attractive to all the other chickens, it is a constant reminder that he should enjoy life (and eat cake.) I don’t know how the blue color of his feathers reminds him of cake but everything seems to remind him of the yummy goodness of cake. “Be Happy, Enjoy Life, and Eat Cake.”
Alfred is my first attempt at making a warm and fuzzy creature for my daughter, Isabel. She really likes him (mostly as a catcher for her drool) and I can’t wait to make more! I am addicted.
Meet me, the procrastinator. I have been trying to start this blog FOREVER. Something always comes up. Something always interferes. I decided that I just have to do it. Here is my attempt at doing it. Happy Days!
