...Oh Pepper! When I saw your name my heart smiled! <br />The slowing at the end of a project is something I am still trying to figure out about myself, and maybe I just need to stop thinking of it as a major personality disorder, lol!<br />These furry babies are such a temptation away from minis, and they are never happier than when the entire pack is lounging on the sofa or snuggled up in bed!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-4117797572804811992019-02-15T09:53:31.910-08:002019-02-15T09:53:31.910-08:00Thank you Penelope!

You are so funny and way too kind! :O) I am happy that you like the kits and results!<br />Please tell Fluby it has been fun to practice being a bear, and I should like to try it again in the future.

I love the Dragonfly International kits and I've been reading Julie Warren's book on making kitchens, so maybe I will try to make the bags too. They look great! I also love the suitcases - I just love that striped pattern. And that sewing kit! That looks great too.

So "lazy" can also mean "being very productive" and/or "working hard and achieving terrific results"! What a discovery!!! My, you've been busy as a bee - let's not forget that attaching kits is also time consuming, especially if so much personal touch is added like you've did for example with those suitcase boxes or the Now-I-am-a-very-proud-and-pretty-fireplace-screen. So stay being lazy this way… and get yourself a bit of tasty chocolate every now and then. Oh, and Fluby wants me to tell you that according to his opinion it's great to be a bear! ;O)<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-34198367992372716092019-02-11T09:06:47.626-08:002019-02-11T09:06:47.626-08:00Oh how exciting!

You amaze me with your productivity. My own particular form of laziness produces nothing - not even guilt! It does seem as though you've had a lot of fun making all those pretty things from kits and tutorials. I especially like the striped suitcases, and you did beautiful work on the sewing box. The Lady's screen is beautiful; that's such a great color, and I love the floral insets. I think you've earned a hearty snack and a long nap! Enjoy!<br />MarjorieMarjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.com
