Penn State NiTTany Lion ... Graduation Gift ... one-of-a-kind
I just added three new UgLee's to Etsy! Check it OuT! Click HERE!
I am now living with an entire family of Penn State fanatics. Two are alumni, one has just finished his Sophomore year AND one is graduating in just a few weeks! I'm not even going to bother listing all of the other family members and family of family that have graduated over the past 20 years. We don't have enough time or space. Let's just say I was the only one to venture off to a small liberal arts college in Bethlehem, Pa. ... Moravian College.
I digress ...
I would like to introduce you to Nittany. The first EVER BuTT UgLee Penn State Nittany lion.
Here are a few shots:
You have no idea how hard it was to create this bad boy. A regular lion is no big deal. Heck ... (you all know I really wanted to say Hell.) his fully painted lion body sat around for weeks ... yes ... WEEKS! The pressure to make him a NITTANY lion was crushing. When you think about living in a home that lives and breaths Penn State you probably get the picture.
The decision was finally made ... I would create the classic Penn State scarf and tie that sucker around his neck and pop on a BuTT UgLee tag. Sure ... no problem! NOT! I had to torture myself and create the scarf out of muslin instead of buying a simple blue and white ribbon. Blah ... Blah ... Blah ... what a whinny butt. I loved it! It also makes me feel much better creating all of the extra details out of muslin whenever I can. Muslin rocks! It also adds to the handcrafted appeal.
Did you see his WHISKERS! So cool! I took black floss and pulled a few threads through, then anchored them with a tiny bit of glue. I love them. The back of NiTTany looks as cool as the front. It has the same wave of polka dots. I don't add the dimensional paint to the back because it may get tacky and stick to the wall. We don't want to that.
There are plans to make more NiTTany lions. Remember they make great gifts for your student, graduate, alumni or TAILGATE! Each NiTTany is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted, whimsical work of art.

I toLd You ...
I told you she was BIG.
I told you she followed me everywhere.
Here is the proof.
I was taking photos of a canvas I was working on when my shadow found just the right spot on the floor.
She started out at least 5-6 inches further back then you see in the photo.
She slowly creeps up as if I'm not going to notice.
I could barely get the canvas in the shot so I decided it was best to get her in the photo as well.
This is what I deal with every day... for every Uglee created ... for every photo.
In this second shot I called her name. You can see she turned and posed perfectly for the photo.
So much for the canvas.

KiVa LovE! ~~ HeLp BuTT UgLee choosE NexT 4 LoaNs!
Hey Gang!
If you have followed my blog for a while now you may remember that 2010 was a challenging year for me.
This past weekend during one of my brief, party of one, pity parties a "light bulb" moment. There are people who have lost more and need more than I possibly could.
Over a year ago I was introduced to an organization ... Kiva.
This Non-Profit rocks!
I gave out 4 loans when I joined.
All but 56 cents has been paid back.
The best part of the whole experience is choosing who you want the $$ to go to.
It took me a few days to decide.
**************************************************************
I picked Mario.
This is Lun.
This is Ali.
This is Prak Village.
Here is where I need your help.
I am looking reinvest the original $100.
I need to choose four more borrower's as soon as possible.
All you have to do is scan through the list and throw out some suggestions.
I will take the first four.
This is an amazing organization!
A $25 loan can change lives.
Please HELP!
Here are the links you will need:
