She's been given a few and she won't play with them. She only likes tennis balls and Kongs!<br /><br />Mitchell: I'd never heard of it before!<br /><br />Briony: I'm glad you're on my wavelength! People throw away way too much perfectly usable stuff.<br /><br />Ms Moon: I'll let you know! The polyfill stuffing was "damaged" in transit (what that means I have no idea) and returned to Amazon, so I had to reorder it. My plans have been slightly delayed. :/<br /><br />Mary: I can't stand waste. Can't stand it.<br /><br />Edna: I'll let you know when the time comes! :)<br /><br />Red: Ha! It's nice to create some blog suspense!<br /><br />Ellen: Yeah, it's a shame no one fixes anything anymore. I just don't understand our disposable culture. The centipede is actually painted on a concrete ramp.<br /><br />Sharon: I don't know! I've had second thoughts about removing it, but trying to repair it with that intact seemed like a tall order. Plus, in general, I hate toys with plastic talky bits inside them.<br /><br />Robin: Isn't that cool art? I have no idea what it means, really, since I don't think centipedes consume bees and grasshoppers, but it's a cool effect. Maybe just a way to remind us of the value of insects.<br /><br />Linda Sue: He looks happy, doesn't he?<br /><br />Catalyst: Yeah, it's a fault of mine, for sure. I hate seeing perfectly good stuff trashed.<br /><br />John: Ha! I admit the silly expression on his face is what drew me in!<br /><br />Jenny-O: Yeah, the artwork is really good. The insects are rendered very skillfully.<br /><br />Andrew: Maybe I acted hastily in throwing out Brobee's voice box?!<br /><br />Beth: I'm impressed you knew him! I don't think I've ever seen him before. Not that I watch much children's TV -- LOL!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-908929057015399722020-06-21T02:01:11.616+01:002020-06-21T02:01:11.616+01:00OMGosh What wonderful ART.

I had a bit of trouble seeing it at first but I got out my magnifying glass Miss Edna sent to me and I ooohed and aaaahhhed ad I marveled at the bee, and the little guy you rescued is just too cute.<br /> I kept thinking that I had seen him someplace and then I knew it had to be a character from a child's television show.<br /> I am so glad that you rescued him. I can't wait to know the plan you have for him. I bet it will be awesome no matter what!<br /><br /> Have a wonderful evening.Beth Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103650100630485292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-32081882046256878302020-06-21T01:45:24.468+01:002020-06-21T01:45:24.468+01:00The caterpillar is wonderful.

Will it be to sit on a collectible shelf? Or maybe give cuddles and smiles to a child? Or will it be a bedtime buddy for a little shelter doggy? In any case, I can't wait to see the finished doll.
