Meet Henrietta...

I made another wee critter yesterday. hee hee This one is "Henrietta Chicken". I'm drafting my own patterns for my spool animals now. 

Henrietta sports a jaunty lace collar, and she's just laid a new egg! (The egg was actually one of a number of bead samples my dear friend, Marion created for me when we still lived in Florida. I finally have a special use for them!) The only thing Henrietta needs is a little raffia to look like a nest for her egg. I'll add that today, and she'll be finished!

Henrietta will be a gift for a friend who has chickens. She's also a co-worker who just gave her two week notice. She and I have been the "Dream Team" on Tuesdays for a long time. I'm going to miss her a lot! I hope she will love the little gift I've made for her. It wasn't intended to be a "parting gift", but I guess that's how it's worked out.

In case you were wondering...Here's Sebastian Squirrel with his acorn. This was a favorite button I've been hoarding for years. I just love it, and now I love how this little squirrel is hanging on to it - no glue involved. So, now he's completely finished and hanging out with the rest of the critters.

I'm off to have lunch with Sis (Deb) today. I haven't seen her in a while, so it's time for us to get together and catch up again. I'll likely make another spoolie later today, too. We shall see. Happy Monday!
