another homeless glove

after having a lovely dinner at sam's mediterranean with amy and nina, i donned my gloves and earmuffs to bike home to do some homework. i had been vigilantly keeping an eye out all day for stray gloves but had found none. then, to my great delight, i spotted one lying in the bike lane on B street! i skidded to a stop (i really need to stop doing that), made a quick u-turn, and rescued the glove from the treacherous asphalt. smiling, i hurried home, singing with my ipod as i went.

once home, it was the same drill as before with Dug. i washed the glove in the sink and ran it through the dryer. i had to run to the nugget to get more cotton balls because i knew this glove would need a whole lot. my prediction proved accurate: i stuffed it with 105 cotton balls! i cut the lower part in half and sewed two legs, bent the middle finger down and sewed it in place to serve as a nose, and pinned down the pinky finger to make it an arm. after adding button eyes and a thread mouth, Glumbo was complete!
