then you go to the toilet and you come back to your little dumpling darling who has pulled all those carefully placed pins right out and you just want to .....but you dont.
did someone step on a duck?? what the duck you been up to? I have been doing duck all here.. the duck up fairy visited a few times and boy, did she wave her evil ducking wand..
Have to ask, is it a duck or a goose?? I get confused about these things...
Only you could stop mid-chaos-stream and make a duck. A duck with integrity, that everyone is quackers about. (sorry, it slipped out)
There was once this old fellow being interviewed on the venerable BBC Radio 4. The young whippersnapper of an interviewer was asking a lot of daft questions about how the duck's head handle walking sticks were made. The chap, who had clearly been making them since nineteencanteen, tried to answer the questions using that long suffering tone, as you would to someone who's sanity you are not quite certain of.
"How do you carve a duck's head?" "Well. You take a block of wood. Then you cut off all the bits that don't look like a duck."
I have visions of you and a handful of your creations working away in the wee hours of the night, dreaming up new friends to hang out with. And I like it.
Hi Jodie, this is my first visit to your blog and I'm glad I found it. We have something in common, we both work in school libraries. Just as well for that because it gives me a great excuse and reason to make lots of wonderful toys. Kind regards, Anita.
So cute as always. I know you probably have about 200 of these but I've just nominated you for a Sunshine Award for making me laugh and inspiration so thanks!
Oh my word Mrs RicRac - I love your duck! Now that you're getting into all things fowl, I just can't wait until you conjure up a chicken from those thinks of yours.
Milligan is.... awesome! Or, as the word verification is telling me, 'novel'. I find it amazing how you get so much character into your softies. As always, incredible work!!!
