Day 302 – Adding a face to the nesting bears…

Day 302 – Taking quality photos of projects is a challenge. The iPhone is a mediocre camera in artificial light late at night. So I replaced last night’s photo with this composite of photos taken outside on this overcast day. Imperfect, but much better. I’m still working on the bears – the faces at least. I’m playing with a few accessories like bows, glasses, and binky. I’d like the accessories to be changeable rather than fixed, but that may add too much complexity to the toy. It may be best to stick with the basic concept of nesting, closures, and numbers 1-5.

Day 273 – We pulled out these old recycled dolls because Adin wanted to bring them to school for show&tell. I helped her add hands, feet, and hair to the little girl and then duct tape decoration to all three. She thinks the family needs a dog.

Day 199 – Faux fur vest is a bit oversized, but she loves it anyway. “Me, pink!” She can wear/love it for years. (Taken with Instagram)

Fur hats are more than head warmers. I found some handmade versions online that will make you stand out in a crowd as well as lift your spirits. Just try to keep a frown while wearing one of these hot pink creations with ears. I cobbled together my own version, and you can too. Or if you’d rather buy one, try these sellers on Etsy. mspresto, doriumlux and gobbolino
