vickybear Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 OK, those of you with children probably see this every day but for those without who may occasionally suffer from a touch of, dare I say it, boredom, this is the result of my husband digging up his new potatoes today.....and finding a somewhat challenged example which he decided would benefit from a few matches and cloves. Rising to the challenge the second photo is my attempt.......anyone out there do any better............................... Pathetic eh??!!My Little Potato [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 They are really rather beautiful!They remind me of a picture of me drawn by a toddler. I have it on the wall. Yours is very arty Mrs WVW. Was your OH miffed when he saw it? [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickybear Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 He was too busy laughing to be miffed! He's planning a big comeback when his second row of spuds come up tomorrow. I'll post it if we get some other pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Excellent! In the same spirit, I'll try and post a picture of me with 100 arms, and one of the 'sculptures' made from what we laughingly call 'soil' in these parts! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Too funny - and a great boredom lifter, see you are now becoming quite creative. Naturally, I too like Mrs. WVW's character over the naked one. L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalpa Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Now admit it, WVWoman, you went to bed last night feeling a gentle glow of satisfaction over the accomplishments of the day, didn't you? Admit it![:-))]Your next challenge, should you choose to accept it, is figure out how to upload Your Little Potato as your avatar.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Head Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Great work WVW! Have you tried to carve potatoes with knives? Kids can use ordinary kitchen knives safely and stick various spuds together with cocktail sticks.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresco Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 This is a deviation from the potato-head theme, but I did promise WVM that I'd post a pic of our attempts at modelling.
