Meet Frank.

 
Hello. Testing, 1, 2.

Is anyone still reading this? Maybe via one of those nifty blog reader thingies?

In case you’re wondering, I’m doing really well. I’ve been busy getting better, not worse. Living, not blogging. And making way too many fun craft projects.

One of these days I’ll post pics of all the stuff I’ve made and not told you about. But until then, you can see Frank, my latest contribution to the Softies for Mirabel charity campaign.

He’s up for auction on eBay right now.

I made him out of another pair of old toe socks. I used a juice bottle lid to help form his snout (at the sock heel), and some jewellery wire to help make the bit I’m proudest of — his curly tail.

He is absolutely one of a kind, never to be repeated. And he is begging for hugs. So if you like him (or know someone who would), bid now or forever hold your peace. You can see the other auctions here, including one made by my mom!

I think he’s pretty cute. I just hope he does me proud and makes a ton of money for the Mirabel kids. They need hugs too.
