"Gone Buggy" is better than....

.....which reminds me, Mr. Gadget was up in the attic the other day and saw nary a bat. And that's a good thing, because they've been known to slip into our bedroom in the dead of night and cause quite a stir.

There hasn't been much time for blogging lately what with all the birthday-celebrating. But now that's all behind me and I'm elbow-deep in the fabric stash once again. I've been working on wedding dragonflies and trying to come up with different combinations of purple, lavender, silver and white--the chosen colors for the occasion. I did make a few of the bodies in muted gold tones to add a little variety because, after all, it is the spice of life.

Half of the bunch will have pins attached, and the other half will have magnets. They'll look nice on the fridge.

I found some great teeny-tiny magnets, thanks to my neighbor, that are strong enough to hold these critters to the fridge, along with several kingergarten paintings and maybe even a 5-lb. bag of potatoes. I do believe these dragonflies could be hood ornaments.

And in my spare time, I finished the rooster stitchery.

Now I need to hunt up a frame, which I'm sure I have somewhere in the disorganized mess that is our basement.

And I finished this too:

I was just about to toss it in the recycle bag when I was struck with a bright idea that this might be the beginnings of another paper mache project. And I wouldn't at all mind the opportunity to get my hands dirty with something other than the soapy water I've been using to clean bathroom fixtures. Stay tuned. And don't worry cuz! I won't get the pulpy, gooey paper mess anywhere near the dragonflies.....
