gregory says 'hello'
by gl. at 12:38 pm
two sundays ago i went to church of craft: i was so excited because they were making glove monsters! diane wrote more about the event on craftypod.
i brought toby with me for moral support & squee! had to come because what could be a more perfect event for a glove-based pincushion? she definitely got a lot of attention; people were very impressed with her (thanks, shelley!).
[say hello, gregory. "um... hello."]
so this is gregory, who is quite shy and looks like he's wearing a sweater. gregory doesn't say much and is mostly content to just go with the flow, which makes him a very good foil for toby, who gets him in all sort of misadventures. i thought he was going to be a vicious halloween rabbit, but when i turned him over to stuff him, i saw his "legs" as eyestalks.
[toby says, "THIS IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND!" gregory says, "um... okay."]
i had never been to the general purpose meeting room at the central library, but it's huge! it makes a great craft room and i can see lots of other possibilities, too. definitely an underrecognized resource!

Aww, the odd couple :) I love him, he is the perfect yin to Toby's grungy yet preppy rastafarian yang...and it looks like he's wearing little white biking shorts....or a microskirt :P

I am in love. I must make glove monsters. Must make glove monsters . . .

They look like they're getting on pretty well. Before long, you may discover Gregory stealing cookies from the cookie jar, and Toby settling in to read 'War and Peace.'
(So glad you all came to the meeting!)

@uba: i hadn't made the odd couple connection yet; how cute! but i thought gregory is just wearing a very long sweater.
@bridget: yes, you must! or perhaps your "artmaking as playful prayer" group must. ;)
@sisterdg: gregory is rather bookish, isn't he? perhaps he'll be the model if i ever get a book series going. i'd love to get an art book club together someday....

I forgot to comment how adorable Gregory is! so cute! I know of Sister Diane from her Craft Sanity podcast! Such cool workshops you have there.
Way to go, gl, I hope Squee gets a lot of work done with you, you're good at these!
