Bacon is from pigs, not Rhinos.

Today is Sunday, and Sunday is Bacon Day at my house. Saturday is pie (meat pie - sort of like pot-pies for you Americans) day, but Saturday is gone and now it is Bacon Day. Rejoice!

Bacon Day is a day of pjs (actually, who am I kidding, pjs are suitable attire for the whole weekend), listening to the radio, and keeping toasty warm with slippers and a a belly full of bacon.

Yum!

Bacon and cheese, one of life's greatest romances.

I had my very first commission recently, which I was very excited about! But like everything in life, it was a rather steep learning curve and boy have I learned. One of the biggest lessons was to wait for at least a deposit before you craft the item, no matter how excited you are about the design and Just Can't Wait To Start On It Right Now.

So now my commissioner has vanished and her poor little Rhinoceros is homeless!

Ignacio is a white Rhino (an endangered species) and he's hand-sewn from my first attempt at wet felting, and he also sports my first ever hand-embroidered Two Cheese Please tag. He's about 10 inches long and 6 inches tall, and is stuffed with polyfill so he's cuddly and rotund. Look at that junk in his trunk!

On his back is Pascal, his nit-eating bird-brained friend, made with felt and spunk, and isn't removeable as Ignacio would be lost without him.
