Gerty, the Eavesdropper!
.JPG)
Gerty knew it wasn't nice,
but rarely did she take advice!
Her friends had warned her many a time
that nosiness was like a crime.
She thought, and stopped, but then gave in.
She paid no notice of her sin.
She held the glass up to her ear
and leaned against the door to hear.
"Hear" she did, and to her shame
she heard the mention of HER name!
She very quickly backed away.
What did she hear? She'll never say!

Gerty is my own design. She is built on a fabric cone filled with and covered with her heavy sawdust and covered with her dress. Her face and hands are sewn from stretchy tights and her hair is yarn.She is fairly large for a doorstop, about 20" high.

ReplyDeleteYou have me in stitches. Your sense of humor is so wonderful and that door stop... well, she is just so perfect in every way. Gerty would make anyone stop in amazement. I want a Gerty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, so much for hopping and adding so much to the party!
That is funny, love Gerty the eavesdropper!
ReplyDeleteShe is very cute. We have an ad on television here at the moment for Leggos spaghetti sauce that has an evesdropping Grandma just like Gerty.
ReplyDeleteLinda you are sew very clever with Gerty and her poetry of eavesdroping and door stopping! What a Hoot!! I adore her and how you have designed her, clothes and all. Thank you sew very much for Hopping...
ReplyDeleteLinda, First let me say that I am thrilled that you have a new home. I know that nothing can replace your losses. I was robbed of some things and they can never be replaced. I lost my second husband last July and through GriefShare I am dealing with that. People tell you time heals and there I've learned God heals. The very next Sunday a lady popped off in Sunday school that time heals. I realized that she meant well and just hasn't been in these circumstances yet. So, I really cannot understand what you are handling as I have not been in your moccasins, either. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteSecond, Gertie is amazing! I always am astounded at your creations. They are fantastic.
Third, you are an inspiration and I hope you find Peace and have fun making this house home.
Gertie is just fabulous Linda. And she even has her own poem!
