Aren't they the cutest mosaic duck couple you've ever seen??
These adorable waterfowl were created by Cuyler & Bubbe and Will & Bubbe this week during their respective sleepover nights. Daisy (on the right with the larger heart at the neck) belongs to Cuyler and Bubbe, while Dippy is the work of Will & Bubbe. Initially Bubbe had one of these wooden ducks on a stick, purchased at the Mill Store for $2.99. When all of the mosaic materials were out earlier in the week, Cuyler found a glass marble he especially liked and showed Bubbe that it would make a good eye on the then plain wooden duck. And so it was glued on. A few days later Cuyler had a sleepover and Daisy was born. Cuyler designed one side and Bubbe designed the other. They worked together to cover the flat outline parts. The process was the same for Dippy, designed by Will and Bubbe just last night. How did they manage? After all, Bubbe had only one wooden duck. Did she clone Daisy? Not quite, she actually took a trip to the Canton Mill Store yesterday afternoon in search of another duck. She combed the entire store and even had an employee tell her that they had no idea what she was talking about (duh, duck on a stick, how hard is that to picture). Just as Bubbe was about to leave the store, she spotted the lone unfinished wooden duck that became Dippy. Ph-ew!
Of course Ebby will have to wait a bit until she can design a mosaic duck at Bubbe's. But have no fear, we will search every Mill Store from here to Cape Cod in order to complete our flock. I mean, how could we not? Dasiy and Dippy are totally cool!

Bubbe came over one night last week and stayed with the kids while I went solo to puppy kindergarten (BGD was in NYC, very busy being upgraded to a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria..Maisy was at home because week 1 is people only). Anyway, she brought a bag of scrapbooking paper and fresh working knowledge of paper lantern making. I hooked them up with a few supplies from my stash and they went to work. The evening's work produced 6 fun lanterns that are now hanging from the ceiling in Ebby's room.
