Today for Thing-a-day I went to a park near work that I’ve walked past hundreds of times before and looked for things I hadn’t really seen.

Dinosaur Plea
More Thing-a-day: We have a little hole in the wall in our back stairwell, and for a while, it had a plastic mouse in it. Eventually it was replaced by a plastic dinosaur, and later the dinosaur got an angry sun beating down on it. Today I decided to give the dinosaur a voice:
The plea reads:
We don’t need manned missions into space! That is mere vanity! For now, we are getting better information from probes and rovers! Let NASA focus on cataloguing, tracking, and developing strategies to deflect meteors that are heading for Earth! Learn from our experience! Quickly! Before it is too late!
A Heartfelt Catnip Toy
So far so good on www.thing-a-day.com this year. Mr Bun is not thrilled about my new sewing machine, so today’s thing is for him.
This particular thing is made of silly Valentine’s Day fabric from the remnants bin (I know, hard to believe!), stuffed with batting with a fragrant catnip center. I felt a bit bad about my sloppy hemming – I have a lot to learn about sewing (machine and manual) on a curve. Did he like it anyway?
Oh yeah.
Catsnake
I’m doing Thing-a-day this year. Here my first thing cowers as Mr Bun peeks out the window.
This particular thing is made of felt, buttons, and polyester batting, and is inspired by this: www.geist.com/comix – Thanks, Eve Corbel!
