Daisy the Skunk

Meet Daisy, the prettiest smelling skunk you will ever meet. She left the woods of Maine to follow her dreams of selling her scent as a parfume, she even had a name picked out: Eau de PU. But apparently two legged creatures don't have the distinguished olfactory glands as her kind and could not tell the difference between her glorious scent and the scent of all other skunks. Not to be discouraged Daisy returned home, but not empty handed. She came back with all sorts of parfume bottles and started a home parfumerie where she makes and sells her Eau de PU to those woodland creatures that can distinguish what a great scent she has. So just remember the next time you think you smell a skunk and are brought to saying "PU" you may actually be smelling a hedgehog wearing Eau de PU.

Crocheted with Red Heart Super Saver & G Hook, used my own pattern. She stands just over 9" tall. Eau de PU not included.

FO Friday, 8.31.12

Last FO of the month! Where did September come from? Finished Miss. Daisy last night, was hoping to get a real photo shoot in with her this afternoon/evening however it started to storm just as I was leaving work. Figures. Perhaps tomorrow will be better, plus I will have a few more hours of daylight as I am out at 3 tomorrow.

i couldn't find a pattern that I liked so I made up my own. I think she's pretty cute... for a skunk! Of course after I attached the legs I had an idea to add circular hips to make it seam like a real skunk sitting on its hind legs. Oh well, maybe next time! Another pattern I have written down in my book that maybe I will someday publish, but right now I'd rather spend my free time actually crocheting than writing up & proofing patterns. Although my very list oriented, somewhat anal brain would probably enjoy pattern writing and editing.

Hooking up with Tami's Amis for another FO Friday! See what everyone else has going on!
