Nose to the grindstone, hands upon the wheel...


Well, I spent the day being responsible, studying for my final in computer tools. It shouldn't be too bad, no worse than the mid term, or so I keep telling myself. But, there seem to be a LOT more terms to look up, 60 and we have several diagrams to draw...I may be getting myself all worked up for nothing.
The power point presentation went well. I was impressed with how many good ones there were. There were a couple of real stinkers too. But the good out weighed the bad by FAR. That was nice. The BEST part? I made an A for AWEsome! I will post it on here when I am somewhere I can use a real internet connection and not the play baby one I have at home.
I am posting a picture of Dahoy, she has been asking me to get her face out there so she will be noticed. She is very quiet and I am kind of surprised that she even spoke up. Just between you and me; Dahoy isn't the brightest one around but she is VERY sweet and since she asked so nicely I thought the last photo I took of her when we were out and about would do nicely.
Dahoy is the first in a series of felted dolls. She is wet felted and has needle felted detailing. She has substantial weighting in her legs so she feels "real" when held. I was inspired by a puppet I saw on Etsy and just had to try my hand at a character doll, Dahoy was born.
There will be baby dolls and some more beauties like Dahoy in this series. It should be a lot of fun. : )
