In our house we have Grenadier Guards (our son was one) but my daughter has to have Royal Marines! Love the Smudge story - it reminds me of when one of our cats tried to get through the cat flap with a dead pigeon! The bird was almost as big as the cat. Did you see the story in the papers recently about the cat who kept bringing soft toys in? Thankyou for explaining the paper cast methods so clearly. Your faces will look stunning.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-71729377638036914112009-01-18T05:21:00.000+00:002009-01-18T05:21:00.000+00:00Maggie,I love the cat story Smudge might be naught...Maggie,<BR/><BR/>I love the cat story Smudge might be naughty but you must get some laughs out of him, your Buddha faces are very attractive will look nice on your wall. <BR/><BR/>Odd how things work out i was buying art supplies online last evening and saw Golden Paints on an OZ site thought I must loo them up and you have filled the bill for me I am grateful for the info on their use.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989055537382959198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-21809637509396660902009-01-17T23:45:00.000+00:002009-01-17T23:45:00.000+00:00We always called boiled eggs 'bash your head in eg...We always called boiled eggs 'bash your head in eggs' as the kids would eat theirs, (with soldiers) and then turn the empty egg shell over in the egg cup. There would then be a 'telling off' for not eating which would end with lots of giggles and smashing of the eggshell.<BR/>Smudge will make your fortune one day, you could have a best selling softback with his antics. I always imagine Cat Stevens looking at him and sighingWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668298533890622009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-75842851983604962132009-01-17T23:31:00.000+00:002009-01-17T23:31:00.000+00:00A lovely cat tale,agood end to a good dayA lovely cat tale,agood end to a good dayhippopiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595850514267263996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-36800454117840244842009-01-17T22:00:00.000+00:002009-01-17T22:00:00.000+00:00Boiled egg and soldiers has always been a favourit...Boiled egg and soldiers has always been a favourite in this house with the kids big and small.<BR/>I suppose it is all part of our British heritage.<BR/>Love that cat story Maggie.Doreen Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14443929494814440393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-57250360492178904912009-01-17T21:14:00.000+00:002009-01-17T21:14:00.000+00:00Very funny cat story!!!We are on an acre amongst r...Very funny cat story!!!<BR/>We are on an acre amongst rural properties and our dog brings almost dead rabbits onto the verandah for us. The only reason he can catch them though is because they have myxo.<BR/>Thanks for the tutorial on the buddha face, I might try that process with a doll. I assume the cast paper is that stuff that comes in a packet like papery clay?? (I can't remember what they call it over here)<BR/>Susan has done a tremendous job with Cyberfyber. A lovely blogger called Kim from glitzy stitches took a photo of my postcard among the others and posted it on her blog,then let me know it was there. As you said Julie, it's such a thrill to see it up there amongst the others.<BR/>CheersAussie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520718297781896214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-46591442673683407522009-01-17T19:51:00.000+00:002009-01-17T19:51:00.000+00:00Maggi, I am in hysterics at Smudge's antics!

Cyber Fyber was certainly a huge success and Susan well deserves the praise. I have a wonderful mental picture of Smudge coming in through the cat flap in reverse - that alone would be worth seeing.Maggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479533794674357334noreply@blogger.com
