how cute is that birdwatcher?!
I love the fabric--I love the very different front/back of it. The hat and the bird slay me! mamarose22--you are right. it is remarkably FULL of facial expression. Somehow, I don't know, it reminds me of Diane Keaton in Annie Hall!

I see that Diane Keaton likeness too!  Cool.

II have received an adorable set of critters from my partner. Pics tomorrow. I'm sick in bed and can't upload them this way.  Let me just say, great minds think alike pjr. ;-)

I love how the button eyes seem to be smack in the center of a flower giving such a cute expression to her/him. 

The eyes ARE smack in the center of flowers, for that very purpose!

Okay, now I HAVE seen it all!  That Birdwatcher Critter is phenomenal!  I like every bit of it - the bird and the hat are perfect - how cute!!  Hats off to you, Waterbaby!  You're genius!

Aw shucks and thanks so much to you all -- I’ve never gotten such wonderful comments before!  And Annie Hall, eh?  Hmmm...the wide eyes, the brimmed hat…well la di da, I see it now, too!

Unfortunately, the personal gift I made for Leslieshappyheart sneakily decided to stick around a few days longer and managed to avoid getting into the package I sent.  Leslie received her package today and I discovered the missing malingerer soon after she'd let me know.  She's asked me to post pictures, and here they are:

Front:                                                                   Back:
   

It’s a polymer clay pendant inspired by (though pretty different in design from) one of Leslie’s etsy favorites, and will be on it's way to Leslie as soon as I can get to the post office on Saturday.

Wow, that's beautiful, waterbaby! I can't wait to see it in person! Thank you for making it for me, and thanks for posting pictures!

Ooo pretty pendant!

I am just floored by the cleverness of a crochet hat! The critters gotta stay warm too, right?

tee hee yeti! Love it!!!

[susanab]

that is one beautiful malingerer!
is it etched/stamped and then dusted/inked with...something?

Leslie - that necklace is perfect for you!  It's beautiful - I hit THIS ROCKS,  because it does.  Good job, waterbaby.

Speaking of THIS ROCKS - I went back and hit THIS ROCKS for the Gnomey Don Draper pouch my partner, Silentblair, made for me.  I took my pouch with me today to the block-of-the-month meeting at my quilt shop today - I showed everyone - and they all thought it was so-o cool.  I'm so proud and grateful it is mine!  Thanks again, Silentblair.
