My wife asked me yesterday to make a wooden duck for a baby present for a baby shower......up for the challenge, I went home and began whipping one out.
However, the usual debate ensued where it was not decided yet what kind of duck it would be.....and whether it would be cute enough or how to make it cute looking.....baby-ish!
I finally got a pattern drawn freehand she liked and got it cut out when she came racing in and asked that if it wasn't too much of a pain if it was too late to make a bear instead.
....!
She explained how she just found out that it was a "bear themed" baby shower (???) (I'm not up on baby showers, and I don't know a guy that would hold any such type party, let alone to declare a theme for people to abide by) and that if it was possible if I could make a bear instead? PLEEEEAAAAASE? Okay, she didn't say please, but I saw it in her eyes.
Not wanting my wife to feel like the odd-duck out (har har) she supplied a bear template and just to show I could do it, I then set about making a bear instead.
