My grand daughter told me that from now on, she would introduce me to her friends as "the surgeon". I suppose that's better than "the butcher"!
Be that as it may, the Spanish dancers' legs are gone and - so far - replaced from hip to knee. But she got her revenge! Since I find it impossible to wear a dust/particle mask, my glasses AND safety glasses all at the same time, I went without the safety glasses while sawing off her clay legs and am paying dearly for my negligence. My eye lids and tear ducts are so itchy I feel like ripping them off. Suffice it to say, my eyelids are so red and swollen, I look like I've been on a month long bender. OTC drops and baby oil help, but doubt they will be a cure.
SO. while senorita's clay thighs were drying, I cut out a pair of Teddy Bears. One will be for my grand daughter's significant other who has a huge collection of stuffed animals. Teddy is a light brown, will have a shock of curley red hair and - If I can make a decent pair - flip flops. I worried about a colorful tee shirt for him until I saw some really loud toddlers' socks at Publix. BINGO!
I also have a hat box I'm going to refurbish for my grand daughter. She makes costumes for all sorts of events, and I know she has a hat or two that could use some protection from their five cats.
