Grass Green Fleece Hug Me Slugs, original art toys by Elizabeth RuffingI finished a couple of grass green Hug Me Slugs. One is available for adoption, and the other has a home already. I will be posting my handmade stuffed animal toys in our Ruffing’s shop

Putting in a new heating and air conditioning system, workman bootiesThe guys worked so quietly all day, hardly talking at all. Then they picked up, and went home, again quietly, leaving a pair of booties behind. They should be back tomorrow to hook up the new heat pump.
