I thoguht it was cute!

Cliff told me I could just make him a monster blanket. That $18.50 seemed a little high. :rolleyes:

We went to Joanns. I even found the same fabric. He found some red and black stuff, bought a bunch of stuff to make something, and won't tell me what. I also got some yarn.

$70something later, we check out of Joanns. :rofl:

And he thought $18.50 was too much. :killingme


It's gonna be arts and crafts night in the Payton house. :D

[Kate]

cute!!

yeah-- all of my money saving ideas end up just like that

[Lisa]

He has a right angle thing, a level, and a pot lid out. :killingme

I love him.

[Moke]

Cliff is hilarious.

[Lisa B]

Looking forward to seeing his creation!!

[Lisa]

He has gotten out the fabric stash.

Lots of things are now out.

:shutup:

[Lisa]

Long pieces of fabric are being twisted.

He said you won't see them.

:stars:

[Michele]

I wonder what he is making! :laugh:

[Lisa]

A blanket of some kind....:dunno:

[Kate]

big mess yet??

[Lisa]

[Michele]

Josh would totally do something like that. :laugh:

Is it a sling? A pirate costume?

[Michele]

Is that board part of the project? Or just a workspace...

You need to start a vbookie event.

[Lisa B]

Cliff looks like a man with a mission!!

[Jen]

The listing you linked to is only $14.50 now :D.

[Lisa]

You are kidding. $14.50? :rofl:

He will die.

He said he is making a dragon blanket. He is on the laptop with photoshop now.

:popcorn:

[Dar]

:popcorn:

[wicked]

what is he doing with photoshop?!

[Michele]

what is he doing with photoshop?!

:word:

[Lisa]

Please hold.

(meanwhile, all my stuff is pinned, and I am waiting for the sewing machine. :laugh: )

[Lisa B]

eagerly waiting :popcorn:

[Lisa]

Ok. The blanket. You can kinda see a "lump" that I think will be the body?

http://media0.dropshots.com/photos/66918/20070905/213402.jpg

Tail?

http://media1.dropshots.com/photos/66918/20070905/213412.jpg

He printed this from photoshop.

[Michele]

Cliff can sew?

I thought he was going to tape it together or something. :laugh:

[Lisa]

Cliff can sew?

I thought he was going to tape it together or something. :laugh:

:blush:

He taught me how to use a sewing machine.

[Lisa]

We now have 2 of these. :D

[Terri]

Those are cute!!

[Lisa]

I think Cliff is starting on wings?

The thing I said was maybe a tail is now stuffed. The body I guess.

[Lisa]

I have another blanket to sew up/ Terry cloth on one side, and flannel on the other with a satin binding. But he took over the sewing machine again. :laugh:

He loves chewing on towels and washrags, so I figured he could have his own. :D

[Lisa B]

I think Cliff is starting on wings?

The thing I said was maybe a tail is now stuffed. The body I guess.
the suspense is building!
really!! I'm curious to see what he ends up with.

[Lisa]

:rofl:

So am I.

[Lisa]

Uploading more.

I don't even think he realizes, or cares, that I have a play by play going.

[Lisa]

Notice the large pile of fabric in the background.

The stuffed part.

Wings??? I hope this creature is 'fun' looking and not scary for the lil guy :eek:

[Lisa B]

and it looks like it will be huge!

[Lisa]

:dunno:

I thought the big thing on the board was going to be a wing. The ones above are being folded somehow and sewn right now.

He also bought balloon buttons. :rofl: Can't wait to see where those go.

[Lisa]

and it looks like it will be huge!

He never overdoes anything.

:indiff:

[Lisa]

I just asked. The little things are feet.

[taragunner]

Cliff cracks me up.

[Lisa B]

balloon buttons, hmmm, doesn't seem to fit the theme?

[Terri]

I have to go to bed.

I can't wait to check back in the morning!! :D

[Lisa]

balloon buttons, hmmm, doesn't seem to fit the theme?

The red ones are going to be eyes.

[Lisa B]

The red ones are going to be eyes.
ummm, won't that be a choking hazard?/overprotective mom

[Amy]

Cliff.Is.Awesome.

[Lisa]

ummm, won't that be a choking hazard?/overprotective mom

I mentioned that.

[Lisa]

http://media2.dropshots.com/photos/66918/20070905/225125.jpg

That would be wax paper in the wings so they crinkle.

http://media0.dropshots.com/photos/66918/20070905/225132.jpg

[Lisa B]

felt eyes, satin eyes, some kind of fabric eyes sewn on, just not buttons :nono:

[Lisa B]

I will have to see the finished creation in the morning also... I'm tired!
Nighty night :wave: :yawn:

[Lisa]

He has passed on the button idea.

[Phoebe]

He's a friggin genius.

:love:

[Lisa]

The sewing maching needle broke. :(

But, this is what it will look like, when he gets him all sewn together/on.

[Phoebe]

HOLY!!

He could totally sell that shit for, like, 50 bucks.

:bowdown:

[Phoebe]

you KNOW those HC bitches would pay for customs. :laugh:

[Lisa]

He just laughed, and then sighed.

[Lisa]

you KNOW those HC bitches would pay for customs. :laugh:


I know. I could sit here with my whip and have my own little sweat shop worker.

[Phoebe]

That's sexy.

[Lisa]

He was going to do a stuffed dragon head, for like a pillow, and then the body dragon shaped as a blanket.

He somehow ended up with a stuffed animal. :laugh:

That is what you get when you walk into a craft store, get an idea, and wing it.

[Danielle]

You should tell him to go back and get more red, though it in front of the fireplace and add a bottle of wine.

Cliff is such a sweetie, he is a keeper! :heart:
