how could i forget...

I don't know how, but I did. I totally forgot about Millicent when I was posting about my recent crafty endeavors. Logan felt that Pennie needed a mom so I enlarged the pattern I made to make Pennie and out popped Millie.

Technically Millie is a larger, younger cousin to Pennie. Why? How? What? Well, the fabric I used to make Millie is old, just not as old as Pennie's fabric. I decided with Millie that I would use wool felt and machine applique for her features. I'm glad I did. I think it adds to her 1950's-60's persona. I hadn't sewn her tail or her hair on yet and Caleb was REALLY concerned about the lack of hair business. He took matters into his own hands.

Here he's telling me that Millie really needs a nice coif.


Caleb grabbed the wad of green cotton/acrylic blend yarn I had cut for Millie's hair and set straight to designing.


He tried it this way and that.


He would stop and ask his client what she thought.


When she'd hesitate or make a backhanded compliment, he'd rip it all off and start over.


And finally when he'd had enough of his snarky client's comments...


He dismissed her and decided to try the green do on himself instead.
