I need to take rest

3 weeks ago, I was playing volley ball in my garden... and I fell...


I broke my right thumb ; the first failure is repaired but not the second one at the wrist level....





Patience... will be my best therapy... GRRRR.....





We spent yesterday a very good Halloween ; Darren, the SpiderMan, came back with a huge bag of candies.





We had 50 children that we spoiled a little ; all were so cute with their costumes ...and ... guess what..... Dobbi the dog became a devil ... I like the picture but he was so excited ... the picture is a little blurry...

I will go to work slowly to my new bear... I think he will be cute.. I'm using a faux-mink fabric....
I'm sure that the he will become she as usual !!!!

I created a book

I completed Lorelei

I named my new creation, Lorelei. It's the first name that came when I finished her.
She is 5 inches when sitting.

I added a clay nose and glazed it.
I choose to stay in the same tones of colors and I added beads with a ribbon If you want to see more pictures of her :
