It's been awhile...

...but Maurice should be back up and meandering soon! Sorry for the wait- hopefully you're following Maurice so you can be the very first to see the new posts!

Beading adventures.

Maurice had a beading adventure today!

Maurice is not worried about the fact that people might not think beading is masculine- he is smarter than that, and knows that he is exactly as masculine as he needs to be. Besides, he really likes making things! Maybe that was influenced by the fact that Maurice is himself a handmade craft creation.

He'd like to show you what he made:

Some armlets (Maurice has no hands and therefore no wrists, and the type of jewelry that goes on the wrist is a bracelet, so Maurice has armlets!):

and some leglets (because Maurice has no feet and therefore no ankles):

and, last but not least, Maurice's very favorite creation,

the "meander" armlet. Isn't it lovely? Maurice thinks so.

Do you make things? Tell us about it.

Something Maurice would like to share with you.

Unfortunately, Maurice does not have any photographs of himself to show you today.

Fortunately, he does have a cute picture he found while browsing some other blogs to post.

Look!

What a cute little picture! Maurice likes wordplay.

Oh! A disclaimer. Maurice does not own this little cartoon, so you can't sue him for posting it. Ha!

Learning about laundry with Maurice.

I would imagine that you have done laundry at some point in your lifetime, and know how it works and what you must do. But, well, just in case you don't, Maurice is here to teach you a little lesson.

Maurice did laundry for the first time today, and he is more than happy to show you how to do it.  First, you must sort out all of the clothing by color.

 This is of the utmost importance because, if you don't do it, your clothing will end up with yucky stains. Think how horrible it would be if our dear friend Maurice were stained!

Then, of course, you must load them into the washing machine.

Add some soap...

...but oops! Make sure you don't spill it all over the washing machine like Maurice did.

Set all the dials...

...and now you're all done!

Whew! Poor Maurice is all tuckered out. He hopes you enjoyed this laundry lesson.

A walk in the park.

Maurice went for a lovely late-summer walk in a state park today.

He loved everything about it: the pretty woods, the animals, the outdoorsy people he rarely gets a chance to meet.

Then, of course, there were the bugs. Maurice wasn't a huge fan of those, but he did enjoy the large, pretty spiderwebs he encountered on his walk- provided, of course, that he didn't have to walk through them or any similar such nonsense.

             

He also found a supercool sign.

Maurice would like you to know that he does not in any way condone bringing firewood into state parks, or any other area it did not come from. He posed in front of the sign to let you know that.

Maurice thinks that someday he might like to go on an outdoorsy camping trip. In fact, he can't think of anything he'd like to do more.
