Whilst I was there I bought some roving.
The roving on the left is called Pralines and Cream, and the one of the right is blue/purple/green. I wasn't ready to go straight into a punk version, so first I used some tan felt and the darker, nutty brown roving and voila, my first alpaca which I am calling Pralines.
Then, as alpacas are communal creatures (just wondering if the plural is alpaca or alpacas?) - (ha, just googled it and the plural can be either!), I thought Pralines needed a buddy. So I made Cream.
I even tried to do a division on the feet to show how they have two toes on each foot. Here is Cream in a close up. The eyelashes are killer!
So because alpacas are very affectionate, with each other at least, here they are kissing.
I hope you like my babies. They will be available for sale, if you are interested just send me a message.
Finally, The Day of the Doctor! I enjoyed it. I liked when they were comparing the size of their sonic screwdrivers, and I loved John Hurt. I also liked that the marriage of David Tennant's Doctor to Elizabeth I, and his subsequent running off before the honeymoon, explains why she was setting the guard on him in the episode "The Shakespeare Code". I thought it was very clever the way they tied multiple threads together. However, I did think it a shame that Billie Piper didn't interact with David Tennant as they have always had such good chemistry on screen.
What did Pete think? He thought Tom Baker's appearance was the best thing about the show, but then he doesn't appreciate anyone else as the Doctor!
Anyway, enough of this nerdy talk.
We had our first snow yesterday, I can still see a little that remains on the grass. It was only a smattering, barely covering the ground, but of course it presages the winter weather to come. At least it has warmed up a bit, it was minus 10 yesterday. Ok my lovelies, take care.
Have a happy day!
