I am slowly working on those 4 seahorses. Three are sewn and stuffed while the fourth waits by the sewing machine for its turn.

Tomorrow during our long drive up to Gainesville with some friends, I will be doing the hand stiching (closing up their backs), adding the eyes, yarn manes, tags and other finishing touches.

Bubbles the Seahorse

I'm back in the mood to make a few Bubbles, my seahorse.

I have one gold one done and four blue ones in various stages of being done.

It should be fun to get back "in the saddle."

Big Mouth

I love this picture taken on Dunedin Causeway. I was playing with the new camera and caught this fellow in mid-squawk.

New Toys

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Here's my new toy! An underwater housing for my newish Canon G10 camera and the lighting system.

These will help me take spectacular underwater pictures. The equipment is great. Let's hope I have the "eye" for it. Got to get in the water and play. :-)

January

Boy, I haven't updated this site in a while. Since the holidays I have been busy at work, carpul tunnel (sp?) hit me hard while finishing up my holiday orders so I haven't done any sewing to speak of.

I did manage to break a toe on my right foot yesterday morning. While dashing from the closet to the shower I rammed the toe next to the pinky into the door jam. I knew right away that it was broken. After driving to work and checking in I called Terry to see what he thought I should do. I know that sounds crazy, but I've never had an accident. Plus I've always heard that unless the toe is bent in the wrong direction needing to be set, that all that can be done is to tape the injured toe to its neighbor. Anyway Ter suggested that I call my doctor and ask for his opinion which ended up being taping it.

The picture is a little fuzzy, but you get the idea.

I am so not in the mood to work today,

and it will only get worse after the new year.

We are going on a dive vacation next year to Yap and Palau. I have plenty a list of stuff that needs to be done before we go.

1: Purchase an underwater camera
2: Lose weight
3: Pick up two travel dive bags. Our old one broke and when it was full it was way over todays weight limits.
4: Sew and sell tons of teddy bears and seahorses to pay for some of this.

I supposed I should get to it.

Finished plush bears

Thank you Pegi Sue for sending me a picture of the bears.

I had accidently deleted my photos of them.
