I finished my final version of Rag Dog! 

Sadly, I am not overly happy with him.  I mean, he’s fine and all.  There are no gaping seams or super wonky bits.  The fabric is fun; orange corduroy and red fleece with black felt eyes and nose. He’s fairly cute. He turned out pretty much as I had envisioned. So why don’t I like him more?  I do not know.  I get that the charm of handmade items is in their imperfections.  But here is my question: where do you draw the line between something that looks charmingly imperfect and something that just looks sloppy? (And I apologize for being so whiny and dissatisfied.  It never fails that when I am vaguely unhappy with one of my creations, the photos always turn out so much better than reality. Heh.)

ANYWAY, I had also hoped to finish Rag Dog within the month of March so he could be part of Project Spectrum (Fire Rag Dog!). But alas, he did not make that cut either. Not that that is his fault, poor little Rag Dog.

Baby’s interest in him was short lived too.  Oh seriously, poor little Rag Dog!
