Nephew's birthday present finished! So, Nephew's favorite book features a bear named Bob:

So I made him this:

lol, it looks a little retarded, but hopefully Nephew will figure it out. if not...well, it's a bear, so maybe he'll think it's appealing on its own merits. I do think I reproduced the sort of bland expression reasonably well.
You might also be amused to know that yesterday we took Nephew to the Renn Faire, and he rushed the stage during the one band's performance because they had a drum kit. LOL. The band seemed amused and let him bang on the scottish hand drum thing for a minute.
Here, have some bonus Nonpig:

Date: 2010-09-08 12:00 am (UTC)It's Hello My Name is Bob (http://www.amazon.com/Hello-Name-Bob-Linas-Alsenas/dp/0545052440/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283573486&sr=1-1). It's not the best kid's book in the universe, but we think it's hilarious because the main character is exactly like nephew's favorite uncle.

Date: 2010-09-07 07:01 pm (UTC)We were thinking about going to the Renaissance Faire out here next weekend, but it's in fact an hour further away than the website claims, so we'll probably skip it.
Oh lord, about two weeks ago I watched all the Hoarders and Hoarding: Buried Alive videos I could find online. I was happy to have done it after having had my enormous garage sale. I have serious "collecting" problems that could lead to my house turning into a dump like that, and most of the people I know are various degrees of hoarders. Now the vague trauma of watching those shows will negate need for hoarding therapy in future. :P Plus I've stopped going to Goodwill twice a week.
