more on the Meerkats and other stuff

Ahh hello. After a busy start to the new term where yet again I find myself less than fully organised in all departments I have made time to post again, updating on the Meerkitty development. That's new term for daughter and a little for me as I get involved with learning so terms do herald a flurry of threatened activity for me too.

Here is Mark 2 or Ron as I believe he is called... he does look a bit weaselly. As this was a practice with the pattern I used felt... all the better to sew in front of the TV my dear. As I always have know and usually ignored "just because it seems the easy way it is not always the best way" . So here is proof that rushing and multitasking in a disordered brain is BAD.

The head gusset was added in a good bit of NCIS, so is in need of a bit of attention.. Is it my age .. but I do find men with (a full head of ) silver hair rather appealing. I love a good head of hair on a man as long as its well cared for. Then again Sir Sean Connery is follically challenged and still ...I digress.

Ron suffers from over enthusiastic stuffing of the head which has resulted in his neck being 1" longer than the pattern. This is not good but curable.

Then there is his tail, which is a bit too long and his feet could be longer to give more stability.

The stitch jointed arms work nicely though and his face is quite sweet.

Then for some reason I went overboard with the amendments and came up with .... see the next post.
