He's not finished, but he already has a name. Otis, in memory of the little opossum I cared for in the Compass Barn a few winters ago. I wrote about him HERE.
I still have some things to do on him, including something for him to hold in his little paw. I've almost completed his coat. I'll also probably add something to the spool, and maybe he needs a little corsage on his lapel? I just couldn't wait to share him with you!
I'll try to finish him today. I'm still putting things away...mainly because I mostly sat around all yesterday. "Sometimes I sits and thinks...and sometimes I just sits" is an old quote that comes to mind. I don't even feel guilty because I got so much accomplished when Dan was here.
I thought I would be going to Portage this weekend, but one of the gals corrected me. Craft Day isn't until the 22nd, so instead, I'll be home. I have another Clara Warschauer class in the afternoon on Saturday, and after I complete Otis, I'm going to work on that needlework box I wrote about earlier in the week. I'm hoping to share that soon, along with my little finished opossum.
I hope you have a great weekend doing something you truly enjoy. Life's to short not to. See you Monday!
That little guy is so very cute. Good that you took the day off yesterday. You have a good weekend as well. Bev in NS

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI'll finish him Saturday. Thanks, dear. I hope you're spared the interminable winds we've had to endure for the past eighteen hours. It's exhausting.

So well done! You are quite the artist! I knew it was a "possum before reading a single word! Adorable! Looking forward to seeing his finishing touchesh and what little critters will be next 😊
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteThanks so much, dear. You're so kind to say so.. I'm especially glad you knew what it was without reading! I'll be doing the finishing touches Saturday. Can't wait to play!

A sit and think day is often just what's needed. Otis is adorable - those teeny tiny little fingers and his wee little tail must have been a challenge to stitch. Love him!
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI really need to. It's wild to look back and see all I accomplished (physically) this week, but I can feel it, for sure. You noticed his fingers! For his tail, I just wrapped the thread around as I stitched. I got the 'possum effect I was hoping for. Thank you, dear!

Sherry of createology: Otis is very sweet. Your fingers you created remind me of Sally Mavor and her little thread wrapped people and critters.
