So last Thursday I parted ways with my first critter -- my baby (bay-bee?) -- of NifNaks.com.

Buzzy the Bee gave me many squeals of happiness as I stabbed him repeatedly with felting needles to form his fuzzy little body.

Last Thursday evening, he was won -- a-hem, I mean adopted, by two lovely lexiconists at the Buzzed Bee. I know that they will make good parents to my little brood and tell him all about the birds and the bees.

Of course, as it often occurs with little ones, I also know that Buzzy will teach the new Apis parents some life lessons too. Like how fun it is to view life with a light heart, by happily bumbling through the difficulties. Or perhaps they will be surprised by all the silly situations that Buzzy gets himself stuck in.

Good-bye, my dear bumbling friend. May your new home fill you with much warmth, happiness, and stickily-sweet love.
