little glove kids.

Even though I did have an artsy, craftsy evening with my nephews on Friday, it didn't really feel like I'd fulfilled my April obligation. As I sat on my couch, vegging out after the evening of babysitting, I noticed the castoff fingers I cut off the glove to make Georgia's head. (If that sounds bizarre, and I can see how it would, read my last post.) I always love coordinating toys and the idea of toys for toys, so I made a finger puppet that looks like Georgia. It tickles me.

Yesterday I made another little glove doll, but this time I had the right kind of gloves. It looks much more like an actual animal, but it isn't nearly as cute or endearing to me. To make up for it's institutional look, today's craft was a pink fleece scarf embellished with buttons. I haven't named it yet, but I'm leaning towards Irma (we watched "Irma la Douce" last night while I made it), but it sort of looks like a boy. By the way, Jack Lemmon is hilarious in "Irma la Douce".
