Gloop and Gleep: A Sewing Adventure
On our fifth lovely snow day off together in our warm and cozy house (we have not had even one argument yet – none of us!!!) Don decided to introduce The Herculoids Comic to Autumn. And of course, like everything else he loves, so does she. She especially loved the stories about Gloop and Gleep, the ghosts. She kept talking about them and about how she wanted to have them.
So, we decided to make them. I found an old bed sheet and Don drew up the plans:
Don cut out the patterns while I got out the sewing machine (and Autumn chewed on a cocktail stirrer – go figure):
Gloop and Gleep – Stage 1:
Sew, sew, sew the ghosts gently up with thread:
Gloop and Gleep – Stage 2:
Everything we used was recycled including the stuffing from a couple of well worn pillows:
Giving Gloop and Gleep their last stitches and eyes:
Gloop and Gleep – Stage 3:
Gloop and Gleep live:
We are certainly getting this “family” thing down now that Autumn (and well us too) are older, wiser and gettin’ jiggy with the reality that we really love hanging out together (how great is that!) It takes us freedom fighters longer than the rest!
P.S. This is dedicated to Zanne and Martin Luther King Jr. Sewing, family and the future…

Gloop and Gleep bring back so many (tv) memories. I’m so glad you got out your sewing machine. What great memories you are making with your family. I know she will have Gloop and Gleep forever. xoZ

I experimented with looking at your web site on my iphone and the format does not seem to be correct. Might wanna check it out on WAP as well as it seems most cell phone layouts are not working with your web site.
June 27, 2012 at 6:32 am
I had been wanting to know if you ever considered switching the layout of your web site? It is well written; I enjoy what youve got to state. But maybe you could add a a bit more in the way of content so people could connect to it better. Youve got a great deal of text for only having one or two photographs. Maybe you could space it out better?

I have got one idea for your web page. It looks like right now there are a handful of cascading stylesheet problems while opening a selection of web pages within google chrome as well as firefox. It is operating alright in internet explorer. Probably you can double check that.
