TIGGER?

You’re probably wondering why I have a picture of Tigger on my blog. I wonder too..... But there is a story behind the Tigger that I will tell you today. You see, a long time ago, this boy met this girl and they fell in love. He thought Tigger was very cute and bought all sorts of little Tigger things for the girl. She secretly thought all stuffed animals and figurines were hideous, but was too enamored with the boy to tell him. They were so in love, they talked about marriage and things of the future, and one weekend the boy took the girl on a very fancy date and the girl and all her friends thought that maybe this was the night that she would have a fancy diamond ring to put on her finger and all her dreams would come true. However, to the girl's surprise, when she opened the box, she found this Tigger figurine. Embedded deep into one side of the base was a gold chip, and the girl scratched furiously at the chip, imaging a ring must somehow be buried inside. The girl was very sad and the boy did not understand why, and that is the way it usually is for boys and girls.

I am sure you have guessed, I am the girl and James is the boy and Tiggers have haunted our marriage ever since. The ones we still have are banished to James' office or Aidan's room. James should be happy his office is orange, because that means this Tigger will somewhat coordinate with the room. So rather than be doomed to life in a box I kindly and carefully placed Tigger on his shelf with some pictures I framed from his China trip.

I also finished the curtains in James' office! The fabric is a tablecloth and napkins I found at Target. I wished it would hang a little tighter and smoother, but these old windows have big handles that mess up what would be nice and smooth. Regardless, i am quite pleased with the way they turned out!
