this way madness lies...

Obsessed.............Certainly

Tenacious ............ Obviously

But then he looks at me like that..........
and I sigh and put the kettle on (again) and start cutting out head number 25.

  3. ANd this is why your softies have that certain-something that makes them irresistable. I just hope you haven't used up all that gorgeous Tessuti wool on toiles....?

  8. It's the side tilt of the head- who can resist? I truly admire your persistence

  9. It's the glint in his eye and the perky smile that does it.

    Persistence is the key. What are you going to do with all those heads??

  17. 25, really? That's some stickability! He is quite delightful.

    I'm a little concerned as to what happens to all the disembodied heads?

    And about how Milligan feels about all these foxes! Or is this fox a vegetarian?

    We appreciate the sacrifice of your sanity for the sake of art.

    Cheers,
    AJ

  18. Thats quite a lot of heads! You are either mad or dedicated!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think he is cute! Have a beer and see if that works better than the tea.

    ReplyDelete
  20. It's a conspiracy, he's hypnotising you to make lots of him... and then they will take you over!!! Run! Run for the hills!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh you foxy devil you! I personally think he looks super foxy. The need for number 25 is??

    ReplyDelete
  22. Your persistence is commendable.

    (does that sound like a report card comment?)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hee hee - your craft room must look like some sort of grim softie murder scene!

    I totally admire your stickwithitness....I'd have had a tantrum and left the room in tears at head no.2!!

    I rather like no.24 and feel he's darn near perfect :o)

  24. Wow! That really is awesome tenacity! I would have probably given up around head no. 5, so I'm very impressed that you've made so very many heads in order to get the pattern just right.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I really worry about you sometimes, Jodie! You really do want to be known as the foxy lady, don't you!

    ReplyDelete
  26. heeee heeeeee heeeeee - foxy lady hee hee - looking forward to cake!

    ReplyDelete
  27. CAKE? Man! Is it that time of year already? I would have saved my phone call if I had realised ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Trash, is it ever NOT time for cake???

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hey guess what? I just finished creating a fox softie too! lol
    If you're not happy with the head, maybe it's the body that's wrong? Perhaps you could make a body to suit that head and end up with two softies?!? When I get my camera back from the shop, I'll be blogging my little foxie, he's not nearly as gorgeous as your fox head, but still my own design, so I love him! Good luck with yours, can't wait to see him finished!
    hah! my verification word is jeckyl! Good name for a fox!

    ReplyDelete
  30. thats dedication! hes just adorable : )

    ReplyDelete
  31. Another who appreciates you sacrificing your sanity for the greater (crafty) good!
    Maybe the problem is that you need something stronger than a cuppa???

    ReplyDelete
  32. I see what you mean! He's melting my heart too.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm loving no.24 too!
    P.S Booked and waiting for our 'homework' to arrive..........just little excited!

    ReplyDelete
  34. One thing your softies seem to have in common is their very "knowing" smile...as if they, too, are in on the joke. Such personalities!


    Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  35. that smile really is quite something

    ReplyDelete
