More stingray ornaments
Aug. 11th, 2007 12:57 amThe madness continues:
( More needlepoint stingray ornaments )
There are more rays, and there will be more ornaments. C&V are definitely getting a couple; the rest of you had better beware, lest you receive one also. If you don't want me to inflict you with, say, a chartreuse ray with bright blue spots*, you'll have to write a pretty convincing argument.
*There really is such a thing. Check out some of these pictures of rays:

Since we seem to have the new ornaments from the aquarium, plus these that I'm making, obviously this year our christmas tree theme will be marine life. We have lots of fish ornaments, and a few seashell ornaments, several mermaids, a couple of whales and dolphins, quite a few penguins, a couple of puffins, and a few turtles. If you are wondering what to get me for my birthday in october, you could get me a marine life ornament I don't have - say, a shark ornament (silver glitter?), or a cuttlefish, or if you've got little preserved real sea urchin shells or starfish, you could dip one in glue and gold glitter, and voila, an ornament! Also, for some odd reason, we only have one seahorse ornament. We could use more of those.
The above is not a shameless plea, only a note. I don't expect anyone to feel obliged to send me ornaments. On the other hand, you *should* feel warned that I'm likely to send you an ornament if I know your address. That part is real.
