King Buffet by Cedric

I hope to go to the Chinese King Buffet. I can't wait to go. We're going to go. I've gone before. Their raw squid is SO GOOD!!! My sister won't want to go. She'll throw up when she sees the squid.

Dwarf Hat

This is the pictorial journey of the making of a Dwarf Hat.
At the end of Day One.

At the end of Day Two.

Day Three.

Day Three again.

Day Three yet again.
Check back, day four is taken but not loaded to the computer yet. Day Five will hopefully see the completion of the 'hat' part and then we must add the BEARD.

End of Day Four.

Day Five. 

Another view of Day Five.

This is what I have for the ear/side flaps. I would either have the other one done or have this one taken out but I haven't been able to ask Nick what he thinks. Once I know, I will proceed.
The end of Day Six.

Another view of Day Six.
I needed somewhere to store the helmet while working on the beard. Since Stan's head was cold, I thought that would be as good a place as any.


This is the base for the beard.
Doesn't look like much at the moment.
So, the beard was Day Seven. After the base, there was much measuring and cutting of yarn. It was a good day for telling yarns.

This worked for the sides.

But for the middle, something more was needed.

Stan's face is still cold. For some reason, it seems to work better if there is a little more substance to the wearer's face.

And here we are at the end of Day Eight. All done--we just need a picture of the person wearing it.

Birthday Presents

Isn't this cute? Joseph made it for me for my birthday. He patterned it after some penguins he made at school.
An up close view of the guys on the back.

Another view.
And Amena gave me this puzzle. We finally put it together last weekend. I guess she did a report of some kind about the artist at school and really likes his drawings. I like this one. It even glows in the dark.
