sigh

We are really bad at this.


Really really bad.






Really.











May I introduce you to Augusta?


Exercise caution. She can smell fear.



Even if she has no nose.









Maybe this will count as my craft (which makes it YOUR TURN MOLLY).




Yes, I think that's what I'll do.





AUGUSTA THE SOCK PUPPET


Well, you cut off the toe of a sock. Just the round part.

Then, from the inside, you insert a piece of oval shaped cardboard. It has to be folded or there's no point.  



It's her mouth, see?

After that, I  glued some pink fabric on. It's optional of course. If you're the kind of cruel person who wants your Augustlet to go around with an ugly brown papery mouth.




Here's some incentive.
Much prettier.





Now you can add eyes. Just regular one inch googlies.




Then comes the hair.


The tricky part which i conveniently don't have pictures for.


Here goes...





Unravel about four feet of yarn.


 Fold it in half and repeat about twenty times so you have a nice thick oval like thing. 


Then glue it on her head.    


When every strand is glued down cut the loops so they are separate strands.



With me?




ok.



(When it's all glued down DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE and try to make a part. 





It doesn't work.)


Glue something on her hair so it LOOKS like there's a part but it's just hidden.



I made a lovely crystal flower.






Now you can make your Augustlet live!!! 


And it doesn't have to be named Augusta.



It is simply (your choice name here) the Augustlet.

Like the lovely Boomberry... 









erm yeah.

Or you can totally ignore my pattern and make yourself a lovely Bart.




Or Mr. Fluffypants.
