looking forwards and backwards ....

this week i spent a lot of time at my computer, in dribs and drabs, deleting and making back up dics of pictures ... it suddently hit me that i could really loose my photographs, all of us knows someone who has lost a HDD full of emails pictures and memories ... and i didnt wan that to be me.

when i finally got down to it i found over 2000 images from daisy' and matty's birth to the last upload, and i took these on just over 4 discs to a small local company in town ... i could have used there on line service, but just inagine how may hours it would have taken to upload them, my images are around 1gig ...

have you ever lost things on your pc?
i used to teach scrapbooking, and might go back to it again, and always stressed gettign those pictures printed. i met a woman and told her about my classes - she has four children - and said, ah, it was ok thanks, she had them all on her computer ... a few years later i met her again in one of my classes - she lots four years of images and gave us all food for thought!

so ive done it
its a HUGE box full
and its going to take me forever to get those into albums - but it will be done !

oh, and in that photo above, daisy is on the left, and matty on the right

couldnt you just sit and stroke that all day? i could, and then not get any more sewing done !

the grey fur, which is two tone, black and grey, looks lovely as you move and feels softer then a kitten ...
the long white fur is really amazingly floaty, and brushes well, and the short white fur is amazingly dense ...

this is actually one of the sleeves of the fursuit, and i cant wait to get it all put together :-)

the making of a man ....

this strange shape is a pattern made by cutting fabric to fit and off my duct tape dummy ...the white parts have been removed for cutting out seperately of course, in both long and short white fur ....

the grey fur is made with dark underfur, the back of which is shown in this photo ...
