Catwalk Beaver

When you make James a gift (and it kind of doesn't matter what it is) he will model it, just as he did when I made him an over large infinity scarf---like so:

He's got Betty Davis eyes

Avert your eyes

Got his eyes on the prize

Eye yi yi!

And eventually, it will end up n his head, after all, anything can be a hat.

You will find this theme emerging as you follow the blog 

...and the use of the word pshaw, this too will form a thematic element

just keep repeating

anything can be a hat

anything can be a hat

anything can be a hat

anything can be a hat

anything can be a hat

anything can be a hat

anything can be a hat

Happy anything can be a hat Tuesday!

Freaky Beaver Friday

James freakin' as a Trekkie

Happy Freaky Beaver Friday!

Through Beaver's Keyhole

Who lives in a house like this?

I will give you one guess and while you are thinking about that, have a look at the rest of the place (by following the link below) for a taste of his amazing design...

Give up?

Of course, it's James Beaver sporting an African mask (who else would it be, this is his blog after all)! 

And who are the adorable little girls in the background, you ask? Why those are Fiona and Sophie, the ladies of the house! Here they are:

Later taters!

Working that Beaver

Here is James on a commercial shoot involving barbie dolls and their interiors

He just loves a good faceswap

Until the next time!

Someone's in the kitchen with Beaver

James always chooses the perfect outfit for every little thing he does

Today he is considering experimenting on some sweet baking, as he just found out about an ingredient, castoreum, in place of vanilla that he should have no problem locating.

It's something that comes from a beaver (this kind):

Yum!

Happy Saturday folks!

Not These James Beavers

If you Google James Beaver you will find some interesting Beavers but THESE are NOT my James Beaver!

"A painter, carver, carpenter, and performer, this James Beaver was a wanderer in the late 19th, early 20th century. Named for Beavers Corners at Six Nations, James came to be known as “Uncle Beaver”, “Chief Beaver”, and “The Indian Juggler”, so-called for his love of juggling. James travelled from place to place, painting pictures, panels for cabinets, murals for walls, and scenery for plays in exchange for room and board or train fare to his next destination."

(I do like the name "Uncle Beaver" and may use this for my James in future)

Of course this is also NOT my James Beaver:

James A. Beaver, chairman of the Board of Trustees 1874-82, 1898-1914.

My James Beaver is not long dead, not that kind of trustee and he is James B. Beaver.  

And finally this guy is deffo not my James Beaver, as he is not even called James Beaver but...

James Jesse Strang, He was known as King of Beaver Island

The King of Beaver Island has a nice ring to it though...hmmm...

If you've forgot what my James Beaver looks like, here you go:

Happy James Beaver Friday, folks!
