{ Meet Claude...}

Folks, please meet Claude...
Claude, please meet my Friends.
a tiny little guy that stands about 6 1/2 inches tall
{not including his ears, that would make him about 8 1/2"}
made from hand-dyed mohair in a sweet Maple Syrup color.
his ears are lined with vintage feedsack fabric,
he has German blown-glass eyes and is button/string jointed.
He looked hungry, so I needle-felted him a long carrot
from hand-dyed wool roving from some of my sheeps' wool.
He is just one of the critters I'll be taking to the
Winter in the Valley show
on February 20th ~

Hope you can come meet him in person!
Blessed be~
Lori
***I just received an email from my friend Beth, telling me that my pattern,
"The Rev & Mrs Potter" had made front page of etsy.com!!!
WOOHOO!!!****
It was featured in a treasury, but I didn't know it!
It prolly won't be there when you go there, though, as the treasuries change frequently!!!
But WOW...I AM HONORED!!!!!

Dear Jean {PRIMCRAFTS}
you can learn more about the show by visiting www.picturetrail.com/winterinthevalleyantique ~
it is a brand new show, so I don't know much about it, but I do know that it's going to be a great show...a very good friend of mine is one of the promoters, her name is Donna Smith and you can contact her by going to the above picturetrail website!

Hope this helps!
Blessed be!
Lori

Prim Blessings.
