Penelope says Goodbye.....

Do you remember Penelope? She's Crackers' cousin who is going to live in Indiana.

This is how she looked a few weeks ago.

Well, Penelope is all finished and on her way to Indianapolis! I knit her some leg warmers so she wouldn't be cold back there.

Then she and Crackers decorated the box she is flying in. Boy, did they have fun!

At last, we took some final pictures before we packed her in the box and took her to the post office.

Now she's is winging her way to Hannah's house, to be friends with Hannah and her mommy. I know they will love her and take care of her, and introduce her to their family and the places they like to go. I think they will send us some pictures so we can see how she's doing, too. Crackers will miss her, but every good duck deserves a special family of their own, and now Penelope has hers!  Bye-bye, Penelope!

A new cousin for Crackers

I apologize for not posting today. Another doctor's appointment for the hubby. I can't keep them straight. If they didn't give reminder calls, we'd probably miss most of them! And there are going to be more. A CT scan of his heart and an ultrasound of his lower chest/upper abdomen. Some more blood work....yada yada yada. So, I will be posting, but I may not be regular. And the dotee doll tutorial will have to wait. For now, let me show you the latest creation. Introducing Crackers' cousin.......

Penelope!

She is a work in progress, but she is almost done. When she's done, she's going to go live with a little girl named Hannah and her mommy, LoriAnn all the way in Indiana!  We'll be giving her a farewell party at the end of March, and you can send her your good wishes by leaving a comment. It's a long way from home, and she's just a little scared to travel so far. But, she is excited to go there,too, because she knows she will be loved and have a good home. And she hopes that Hannah and her mommy will build her a nice, soft nest so she will feel right at home.

Well, that's all for today. I promise I will get back in the groove soon, but grandpa comes first. See you all next time and love to all,
