A Dream Ship

  Have I mentioned to you that my daughters are completely in love with a certain little red haired girland her pet monkey? Well, upon making and sending two Pippi's off to new adventures, I was promising the girls again that there would someday be another.Little did I know how soon that someday would be.  An unusual face began smiling at me from within the clay. Once her features were sculpted and painted, the only hair color that fit her ...was red...which just so happened to (still) be sitting upon my desk. ...Suddenly I found a Sea Captain looking at me! To help me really see who this person was,Suzanne (Pixie Andrew's mom) penned a poem about Pippi dreaming of who she might be when she grew up.Her word painting was wonderful...so full of imagery!  And it gave me a clear vision of who this grown up Longstocking might be.    A Sea Captain needs a ship. Last December, I found a paper mach'e boat tutorial by Ann Woodand thought this would be a perfect reason to try it!It was great fun to make.If you would like to see flying seafaring beauties, please visitAnne's blog hereand be Inspired!     Pippi, Nelson, Tweedle the bird, and the little Dream Ship are all on EBAY right now.To see them in more detail and read Suzanne's wonderful poem,please  click on the ebay word or picture in the upper right hand cornerto take you there.
