the beginning

i was biking the davis bike loop today, keeping an eye out for lost gloves. lo and behold, right by the cuarto dorms, i spotted one! i skidded to the stop, hopped off my bike, and rescued it. tucking the glove safely into my bag, i continued on my way.

once i got home, i washed the glove with laundry detergent in the sink and then tossed it in the dryer. finally, after what seemed like a long time in the dryer, it was ready to be transformed.

in lieu of fiberfill (since michael's doesn't carry any and i'm NOT going back to woodland to try and locate jo-ann fabrics), i opted to use cotton balls. i shredded them up into a fluffy consistency and stuffed the glove til it was filled. i sewed the bottom, added two eyes, and formed the mouth.






and Dug is born!

introducing

well, here's a brand new blog! not much to see yet. but i guess i can tell you my intentions for this blog so you get an idea of what is in store.

ever walk down the street, ride the bus, or drive in your car and pass by a lonely glove lying in the gutter? do you ever wonder whose glove it used to be? how it got lost? if it's missed?

well, you'll never find the answers to those questions, unfortunately. and most of the time, those gloves are forgotten and gone forever. i often stop and contemplate those lonely lost gloves, debating whether or not to pick them up. up until now, i have just walked on by, leaving gloves to fend for themselves in the streets. but no more! gloves have feelings too, and they deserve a good home, damnit!

the lonesome gloves should not be abandoned forever! i will find the lost gloves, bring them home, clean them up and make them comfortable. i will help those lost gloves regain their former glory. they will become found!
