the graduate glove lady

well, i've graduated, and now i'm a boring glove-obsessed graduate with nothing to do. two days ago, while i was biking home with Jessica, i made her stop and wait for me to rescue a glove i saw on B and 7th. i almost rode right past the glove because it was turned inside-out and the fingers weren't showing. however, being a diligent glove-seeker, i decided to double check. my intuition paid off and what i saw on the street was indeed a glove! it took me a while to finally get to sewing since i had finals and packing to do. i also had some difficulty coming to a decision about what kind of doll to make, but inspiration struck when i realized the pinky finger of the glove was worn through and i couldn't stuff it. aha, brilliant! i could turn the pinky into a turkey wattle and make a turkey doll! the wrist opening made a nice bird foot, and the rest of the fingers serve as effective, albeit awkward, tail feathers. i rummaged through my buttons and found a nurse hat and decided to make a glove doll to dedicate to my sister, Caroline. give a hearty hello to Nurse Turkey!
