Surprise!
Meet Emmitt the hand puppet!
I made him on my mitten loom this weekend and he was so fun to make!
I first knit him on the mitten loom just like I would make a mitten, but I made two thumbs for his arms.
Then I crocheted his tail, ears, eyes, nose and muzzle and collar to make this funny character.
oooo! Now that I have a face I can see the storm blow in!
Wow! Look at that lightening!
I had better get inside and just hang out in the office!
What a fun project!
The new hand puppet is a big version of my finger puppets that I love to make for my Etsy Store.
Speaking of fun dog art and etsy stores, my good friend Linda O'Neill just opened a new etsy store for her dog art!
Introducing... Abby Creek Dogs!
Linda and her studio assistant shepherd, Miss Maisie also have a wonderful blog, website and etsy shop for her abstract and still life paintings.
Please stop by and say hello! They would love to meet you!
Now I have to go and keep my eye on Emmitt.
He is baking up a storm... mini meat-loaves, pup-cakes and cookies for his birthday party on Saturday. I have to make sure that most of what he is making ends up on the trays and not in his tummy.
He cannot wait to see all of you!
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
The hand puppet is so darn cute Melissa!!
ReplyDeleteI'll stop by Linda's new Etsy store!
