My Spoolie Shelf...

L-R: Ursa Polar Bear w/seal, Bella Labrador, King Scarface, Valentine Rabbit, Taylor Mouse, Otis Opossum, Spot the Dog, Sebastian Squirrel, and Daisy Skunk

I'm just leaving a quick post today. I'm going back to work this morning, and I want to give myself plenty of time.

Only two I've made aren't on this shelf...Theodore Badger and Henrietta Chicken, which were both gifted to special people. I will be making another of each for my shelf, though, so they will be represented.

I did rework King Scarface, adding more dark fur and fine tuning his facial features. I'm much happier with his look now.

I have no idea which animal I'll do next, but I am thinking on it. I also want to get back to the bluebirds, so there's that, too. 

I'm not sure how I'll do with work today. Handsome and I went out for breakfast and ran one quick errand. When we got home, I curled up on the sofa and slept for two hours. My boss offered to come in early for me today if I think I need it, but I'm going to try not to do that, but I asked Handsome to have something figured out for dinner, just in case I didn't have meal prep in me by the time we get home. 

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. See you later!

    1. Hi Marilyn:
      I was gassed by the time I got home, but interestingly, didn't fall asleep in my chair. Guess I must be getting stronger! Thanks, dear.

  2. This is the MOST ADORABLE collection!! You must be tickled everytime you walk past this shelf of lovelies! I would be smiling from ear to ear (well, when I'm not overanalyzing my projects for further "corrections" 🙄) I like the changes made to King Scarface (that seems like such a harsh name for such a mighty and majestic King of Beasts, but I guess he earned it). And, I know you are all grown up and make wise choices, but please do be careful returning to work. It is quite okay to let someone fill in for you for a change 😉

    1. Hi Lois:
      You're right. I love walking past all my little spool critters. They make me smile. King Scarface does seem a bit harsh, but can you even imagine how strong he must have been? I'm still in awe. As for work, I took my stool along to sit, was careful not to overdo, and nearly called Handsome to come and get me around 2. Instead, I drank a lot of water, took a break and stayed until 4. My boss closed my till for me, thankfully, and I left straight up at 4, feeling tired but accomplished. I won't work again until Friday, and intend to do "not much" between now and then! Thanks for your concern, dear.

    1. Hi Sherry:
      Thanks so much, dear! I'm really having fun with these small projects. I was very careful at work, doing my best to pace myself. I hit a short wall mid-afternoon, but drank a lot of water, sat a bit and was fine until 4. Glad I'm not going back in tomorrow, though. I'll rest between now and Friday. Thanks for your concern.
      xoxo

      Thanks so much, dear. It was a pretty good day. I appreciate your concern. I'm only going to this month's classmate dinner tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm going to be sitting around with my feet up. lol
