pigs in a blanket


(wee little sculptures by Gary Rith)
Mama bunny ran into mama piggy and what can I say? I didn't realize that I would grow up to make mother and child sculptures, I really didn't know. Easier to make this and than actually have kids, I bet.
For newer readers you may not know that I have a pet hamster in my dreams. Just rattling around in my head. For years it was nameless and sexless, but late in the fall, when pressed for a name in a dream, I realized it was called Robert.
So, Robert the hamster, for the first time in a few months, visited briefly last night, arms raised in a victory salute. Guess it approves of what I am up to.

I can guarantee you, making those sculptures is easier for you than having kids. (For me, maybe not, but definitely for you!)

SALUTE!

Nice to hear a new Robert story! Oh yeah, the new sculptures are just adorable :-)

I love the red cups! The pig & bunny are pretty cute too. You must be doing something right if Robert is visiting less and giving you the air pump when he does. ;)

That's what I was going to say, you need to make a little hamster. Make him furry and chunky and cute! With an adorable little hamster nose and name him Robert so we can see him!
