Don't Let the Door Stop You! My Day and the Tale of Gerty!

Gerty, the Eavesdropper!

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.

My thanks to Madame Samm and Carla for hosting us in this hop! Also, be sure you visit the others on the hop today! (You can find the entire list at Carla's blog.)
