Andy!

Well, since I posted Ann last week, I thought I'd show you Andy! He is basically the same pattern except with having to shape the face by gluing pleats, every face will look differently, no two will be the same!

I decided that Andy's necktie would have a needle keep attached to it, therefore it becomes functional like Ann's hair ribbon.

I forgot to mention one Ann's post that you never use polyfill (stuffing) for the cushion, it dulls the pins. Wool or sand works best. I have this great hounds tooth wool that I mainly make bears out of. It has a rough feel yet a loose weave.

The hat will hold a thimble, however only while in use, it's to loose to keep the thimble there, inside the jar would be better.

This pair is off to Etsy together.

I want to thank Lola for sending me the lovely care package, her crafts. I'm disheartened when I know someone who has had to give over to arthritis, because one day...it will happen to me too! Plus, I'm aware of the pain crafting can cause, I'm glad for you Lola that you are gardening, it is pleasant reading your post and seeing your work. I am also very flattered you thought of lucky me to send your package too, I will use all the pretty things, that's for sure!
