Preparations for Hitting the Road Continue...

Sally is shaping up.  She's got arms, legs, and ears - but no face yet.  She looks pretty cute anyway, but giving her a face is next on the agenda.

What else does Sally need?  Since it didn't take much yarn to make her, I decided to use what remained to knit a bag to carry her in.  Of course there wasn't enough to complete the bag, so off to Peg's Knit-n-Spin to buy another skein.  The bag is finished, but I have a bunch of yarn left again.  This is how stashes are built...

Sally also needs a musical instrument for when we go to ukulele events.  Sal has retired from traveling and, as you can see from the photo below, is much too big for Sally anyway.  Unfortunately, smaller playable ukes aren't usually made, so what to do?  See if you can get hold of a Nano Uke!  It's smaller, playable, but sadly, there are none available at the moment.  Sally is thinking about getting on the waiting list for one, but perhaps she will be content with a different type of instrument?  A shaker egg, perhaps?  Time will tell...
