Say ‘hello’ to Avocado, the bear. During the previous week, I cobbled him together from scrap leather. That’s right, Avocado is a leather bear. (Okay, that was just plain weird to write.) He came from an inside joke between friends. Avocado was supposed to be a massage voodoo doll (the inside joke). However, no matter how I tried to move the project that direction, Avocado insisted on being a bear. I kind of worry that he will come to life while I sleep. Then Avocado will stalk the cats and attempt to stuff dirty socks in my mouth. I’m glad that the stitches at his joints suck. They really limit the beady-eyed little varmint’s mobility.
