…three for the road…
{From back to front - Smitty, Prudence, Melpomene}
These are all gifts and two out of the three people are getting them today, so I thought it would be safe to do a quick little post. (sorry the photo is blurry - not so much light)
Smitty was a construction worker on one of the Antarctic science stations. He was the foreman of the penguin crew.
Prudence, the ex-librarian, now turned professor, is a fussy educator. No slackers allowed in her class. She is strict, but it’s only because she cares.
Melpomene is a quite, shy little thing. She likes to write stories and play games in the forest. She keeps her stories hidden because of the shyness. But it’s mainly because the stories are for her, not anyone else.
Back to Smitty - he likes hanging with the guys after a long day of work.

oh those are delightful as usual & the stories make me crack up. You should make a little booklet to go with each one..that would be so much fun!

Love them! The talented Boy must have a 6th sense to be able to communicate so well with the Softies!

Wendy!!!
I hadn’t checked your blog for a bit and missed so much! But especially these 3 characters! These are great! I LOVE em! They are cute as bug’s ears. This inspires me to try to make some myself– GEEZ! I could get terribly distracted by that — you are so clever! It is best I simply admire yours as opposed to trying to make them myself, but man you make it seem fun! I wonder if I made some we could have little battles, dances, intramural sports…he he!
