Off like a herd of platypusses.

I'm off to the post office to send the platypus to its new home. For some reason I had the hardest time finding a box for it to fit in. I'm chalking it up to not being a morning person. And I haven't eaten yet today. I was hoping to grab some breakfast after the post office, but it's taken me forever to get ready to go this morning. Moving like a turtle in molasses.

Finished the Platypus

I really like how it came out. You'd be amazed at how many people ask me what a Platypus is. Native to Australia if that helps.
Crochet amigurimi platypus is a custom order for Etsy. It's made without a pattern out of my own head.

Crocheted platypus

Tonight I finished the platypus. I'll take pics tomorrow after the glue on the eyes dries. Here's a photo of it when it was still a flat-a-pus.

And here's some photos of my friend Amiee doing tubular beading over a straw. I took my beading but there was so much else to see and do I never got around to it.

Platypus

Today I worked on the crocheted platypus. I got all the parts done while at the archery gathering. All I have left to do is sew the sections together and stuff them. I'm happy with the way it is turning out and I hope the customer will be too.

Platypus

I got a custom order for an amigurumi platypus last night. So I need to check my yarn stash for purple and yellow and orange. Oh this will be fun. My last platypus sold immediately and I always meant to make more. So yay.
