365/2013 - Day 185

the blue Tookies are done!

Ya-hooooooo -- finger puppets 61-80 (of 100) are complete!  

first they get their side seams

then they get their colorful, soft edges

Next up...ten black and white striped finger puppets, then ten blue/blue striped finger puppets.  Then it is on to the boxes and inserts and packaging...still a ways to go but it still sounds good to say 80 down/20 to go!

365/2013 - Day 184

it doesn't feel like a lot of sewing until I stop for the night

Today the nineteen blue finger puppets that worked on yesterday all got button eyes, then mouths, then eyelashes.  I sort of felt like I could probably do the side seams on them tonight, but when I took a break to feed the cats just now I realized how achy I am from sewing all day.  Combined with the small spill I took last night, I think it all accounts for my really achy shoulders and neck.  Overall I feel fine -- but I think it is good to stop for the night.

the button eyes

the mouths

and the hard to see eyelashes
