Soft Moose Sketch

I thought I would do a quick sketch on the bottom of the page of the last sketch of the scissors and rock.  Soft was an item on the list.  Lazy me looked at the toys on the shelf and saw this soft little moose.  Soooo soft and so cute.  Where did it come from??  I'm sure Gene gave it to me, but where did he get it?  We haven't been to Utah since the big fire.  Must have been in one of the big boxes of toys at Walmart some holiday.  Doesn't seem that I've sketched it before.  I didn't find a blog post with "moose" in it or Utah.  I'm bewildered.....

 



For Scavenger Hunt from Life 143  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-143-dec-29-jan-06.7569/

Number 5 something soft - The moose is about a foot tall, rusty brown with black shirt and black horns.  His eyes and nostrils are barely visible.  I couldn't really see the eyes but put them half showing so his snout would show.  

I cannot believe it is January.  It was 76º F this afternoon about 4 p.m.  Just now I heard the wind and went to look.  The cold front is rolling in.  It is already 39º.  

Here is the Fox 7 Austin weather for the week:  https://www.fox7austin.com/weather

It was 89º just a few days ago.  I do not like winter.  I hope this is the end of it!  But if I know this crazy Texas weather it will be this cold again when the Longhorns start playing baseball in February!!  Dang.

I thought we had put away all the Christmas decorations.  We missed the Christmas train that the GGs painted a couple of years ago.  Sigh......

Jo your fuzzy moose looks very soft. Great job. I know you folks in Texas are getting quite a bit of cold weather...we are covered with snow and more is on the way. It would be quite lovely if one did not have to drive in the white stuff. Birds are really eating us out of home now that we have winter weather. Take care. Hugs!

Debbie, thank you. We are lucky to have mostly good weather. I just like to complain about the rapid changes. I do not envy you the snow. Stay safe and warm.

R’s Rue, thanks. See you around.

You always manage to show the softness of your stuffies. I like the moose! I always find some Christmas decoration that missed being packed away too. lol I know our friend in Itasca posted on FB the other morning that it was 23 degrees and 6 degrees with the wind chill. Then another day it will be in the 80s. Crazy weather! We had a slight bit of snow, and it has been cold and windy. Much too cold for me to do my outdoor morning walk. I've had to resort to my online workouts.

Aww, thanks Joan. I do like still life sketching. I found some coasters also so two things so far that didn't get put away. It is cold for us but at least not expecting an ice storm like last year. Brrr.
