Modelling and Careers

Big news! Our Canadian Male Munchkin Model is taking another step in the advancement of his career. Here he is all set to audition for a diaper commercial for one of the leading diaper companies. The problem seems to be that in his effort to taste those little pinkies, the diaper isn't very well displayed. And, he just couldn't concentrate on posing when those irresistable little pinkies were waving around in such close proximity.

Here is the little Boo Berry sweater. The shoulder where I left an opening for some buttons to make it easier to pull over little ones' heads still needs to be finished off - I just have it pinned there for this photo. I keep forgetting to bring in a crochet hook from the car to finish off the edge - but I will remember one of these times. I had some yarn left over - so I made up a little toque to match. I still have some yarn left and may go and get some double-pointed needles and make some little mittens as well. I'll think about it. Any comments or suggestions?
I should mention that just in case the diaper audition doesn't go well, our little Munchkin has also decided to work on his education on-line. Here he is surfing the internet looking for the courses he might be interested in. Last I checked his courses of choice included: Eating Solid Foods 101; Developing Good Teeth; Learning the Ups and Downs of Body Mobility; Sitting Independently; and Manipulating Parents 201. Apparently he has already passed Manipulating Parents 101 and is ready for level 2 in that course.
I have started another pair of socks even though I didn't get any takers when I asked in the last blog. I decided to post a picture and see if that stirred any interest. They are mostly shades of gray from light to very dark. Just for interest there are bits of navy, dark teal, and brown thrown in for a very interesting and attractive colourway. The yarn is 100% wool and is Confetti 100 like the yarn in the socks that Auntie Colleen got. She did receive them and gave a positive review. The parcels I sent last week seem to be taking longer than usual, so Mama hasn't received hers yet. It seems there has been a large influx of vacationers into Florida this week. Lineups at the Post Office (and the checkouts at the stores) are longer, so I am assuming that with the increased volume things are taking longer to be processed and forwarded to Canada.
I've been having a bit of a problem with Taffy lately. She keeps reading my e-mail. She really likes using the computer and is quite self-educated in many regards. But, I think my e-mail should be private! Anyway, one of her well-intentioned aunts *waves to Auntie Colleen* suggested that Taffy needed some bling, and I have heard little else since then. After Taffy asking for about the ten thousandth time, we went to Wal-Mart yesterday to see what we could find. Here is a shot of the results of our expedition. She is smiling a lot today - and she is wanting me to post this to see what afore-mentioned aunt thinks.
In the meantime, between working on his education and furthering his modelling/acting career, our little Canadian Male Munchkin Model is seriously considering auditioning for a spot with the Chippendales. Quite the little tease isn't he? Mama snuck in on the practice session and got this shot for us.

  1. Awwwwww. Yay for Taffy. I quite like the bling. A girl with that many outfits needs some pretty jewellery. And she certainly has some now.

    That last picture of the CMMM is hilarious. Too cute. And with a happy face like he has, you'd think that diaper commercial would be a sure thing.

    Nice socks those.
