This week's wrap...

I like to be a very organised individual and tend to be a bit productivity/achievement focused, which has meant that I have had a fairly frustrating week! I came down with my annual cold last weekend, which has left me with little energy and tired of coughing, sneezing and blowing. I didn't give in though, I tried to push on and get some work done, while sharing some germs with sis in the studio. From the picture below can you guess what project we might have been working on this week?


It's a project that has been a long time in the making. We started playing with some pattern design ideas for an echidna about 2 months ago now, and finally we got it to completion this week after about 4 versions. For those of you who saw the first version, I think you will be very pleasantly surprised to say the least. Nicknamed "the engorged tick", version one was incinerated today.....yay!

Below illustrates version one, three and four, which one is best?


Now all we need is a very special name for a very special friend.......any ideas? This not so little guy is listed for sale in our Etsy Shop.
