So D'anjou dozed off long enough for us to finish our crafty project yesterday - a little fleece soft puppy named Brownie. I've never sewed anything 3 dimensional, Mini-pear's only used the sewing machine once or twice before, but I think we did a pretty good job. He is very, very soft and cuddly.
I want to make more toys! First I need to work on my embroidery skillz (or lack thereof).
Mr. Pear got crafty last night, cutting my hair. Then he got crafty again this morning, as I was not very specific regarding what I wanted last night and ended up looking like a rather dishevelled Dorothy Hamill. My Dorothy Hamill cut is gone and I have a servicable little flip. I suppose I look more like Gidget. I was actually very reluctant about getting it cut (I'm 35! I don't have that many more years of long hair in me before I start looking like a Wiccan or an aging hippy) but it was doing that post-partum hair falling out thing (please don't tell me it's just me). It was just too frustrating to be picking hair off everything. I will probably still be picking hair up off everything, except now it won't be a foot long...
Are you trying to tell me something? I am either the wiccan or the happy hippy chick!!!!!
Very cute bear. I have stuffing, want some?

I'm with Randi, picture please!
I cut my own last year....I was just trying to give it a trim and well, it looked lovely on the right and left side, the back was another story :{
The dog is adorable, looking forward to seeing what else you two come up with!

aww, i loved your long beautiful hair...guess that makes me an aging hippy, and i'm good with that : ) and i'm sure you look just as beautiful with short hair ; )
I always loved my nana's long beautiful gray hair she always wore in a bun.

I forgot that the mister is your stylist. I think that's so cool.
