I'd like to introduce you to my newest assistant at Brynwood Needleworks. As I always try to bring a plethora of fun, creative, informative, joyful and cheerful posts your way, it only seems fitting that the most recent member of my team is "Cheerful". No, really! That's his name! Cheerful.
He's getting to know his way around the studio...asking lots of questions, teasing Kes, and most of all, bringing a wonderful sense of whimsy into my day. When I read his resume' and I saw that his pincushion was made using one of the French General fabrics, I knew he just had to move to Florida!Cheerful comes to Brynwood Needleworks by way of the fabulously talented Susan Pilloto of Mouse Droppings blog and Crowsnest Pass Primitive Art in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. (By the way, I had a little chat with Cheerful and there'll be none of that mouse droppings stuff in the studio!)
Susan's work is in high demand, and she always contacts her followers to let them know when she'll be listing up her creations. (Often only a one hour window of opportunity to purchase one of her "kids".) I persevered and was finally able to score Cheerful for myself. No indentured servitude here...only love and adoration for the little guy, and loads of admiration for Sue's creative flair.Just look at his sweet face with a sly, little smile. Don't you agree he's the most wonderful little mouse ever?
Speaking of sweet faces...(nice segue, right?) Guess who I'm going to spend time with today? The photo is a little hint. I am thrilled beyond words that one of my beautiful blog buddies is driving to Williamsburg today to be with me! How special do you think I'm feeling right about now? Do you recognize her?You can bet I'll spill all the details and share lots of photographs...tomorrow! muahahahahaha
I'd like to wish all of you a fabulous day today, but I have to tell you...unless you're getting married or giving birth...no one else's day is gonna hold a candle to mine!
What! Wow....I love him..he is so cute ....I bet he is a treasure indeed....
ReplyDeleteand who might that be you are meeting cannot wait to see....have a good time....
Well I think Cheerful is the perfect addition to your studio. And I know he couldn't find a better home. Her creation is just precious. It's sounds like today is going to be a blast. Have some fun for me Sweetie.

Oh gosh Donna, that mouse is so darn cute! I love his little coat! He's the perfect addition to your beautiful studio. Sue is such a talented artist ...Have a fun day tomorrow with Michelle! Can't wait to hear all about it! xoxo Paulette ;)
ReplyDeleteDonna what a cutie of an assistant you have there. Glad you have some help now in your studio.
ReplyDeleteI too would have a talk about the droppings. Your work is way to beautiful to have him spoil it. lol
What a uplifting happy post...I sure needed to read this tonight before I turn in.
At first I thought the visitor was Susan from Art of Mine but no I don't think so. I will have to come back and find out who.
Wish wish it were me.
Love ya
Maggie
I tried leaving a comment yesterday and had problems. What a cute little guy this is. I love Susan's work and you are right these little guys sell as fast as she puts them up. Have you ever seen a cuter face???

He is FABULOUSLY cute! And so dapper - I can tell he will be the best assistant ever (after Kes, of course). Theresa
