Pip!

 It's such a treat to have our computer back up and running...it appears that computers are not immune to the lurgy either!
So after a new hard drive, several lost photos and many lessons learned.. I'm returning with a friend...

Pip is his name, and he came about over the Christmas holidays when I decided to indulge in the "creating of things I never normally turn my hand to ,but have always quite fancied!"

He's a gentle soul despite his inadvertent "pirate-y" appearance. Pip genuinely lost an eye in his making....one day I left him sitting on my desk with 2 eyes ready to be stitched...to return the next day with one missing!

One of these days, I get the feeling a lone eye will 

turn up in some random place and I'll wonder what the heck I've stumbled across...hopefully Pip will have placed himself in an obvious position with his remaining beady eye fixed on me as a reminder!
