Fallen Petals

6/2/2014

3 Comments

 
One day last week, the mice and toad were sitting out in the garden complaining of being bored....
Picture
"Well," said Mr Toad, "You can help me clean up all these pink petals", 
and he went to fetch a broom, rake and pail....
Picture
They worked for awhile, but there were so many petals, they soon got bored .....
Picture
"Well, then I have another idea..." said Mr Toad....
Picture
So they all joined him jumping into the pile of petals...

Bored?  I can relate.  I made a pair of moccasins yesterday, but the first one turned out rather ugly, and both were way too big. I guess the leather was stretchier than I anticipated. So today I get to start all over and make another pair. Sewing the leather is hard on my hands, so I'll be happy when I finally get a good pair done.  Here's hoping this next set turns out well!

Oh what a fun game to play! And how lovely that Mr Toad has made some new friends of his own size too!

And good luck with the next pair of moccasins, what a pain that the previous pair didn't work out for you *sigh*
