Henry the Dragon

Henry is Barney's 1/2 brother. Same mom different dad's. His dad was a monster of a dragon, but that's a whole other story. You know how they say "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? Well Henry happened while his mother was out there for a publicity stunt with his older brother Barney.

So with a mother who loved him, but was constantly reminding him that he was an "oops" and a famous brother who WOULD NOT STOP SINGING THAT SONG—you know what one I'm talking about—Henry had some teen angst years where he would set things on fire and try to blame it on his brother.

But after a near death incident when he sneezed at the gas station and was saved by none other than Mr. Purple Dinosaur, Henry turned himself around. He got a whole new outlook on life where he realized he could enjoy his friends, family and life in general way more if he took that never ending song to heart. And he finally said "I Love You" back to Barney.

FO Friday, 6.1.12

Happy Friday! For many that means the end of your week, for me it's just the beginning. At the studio today 9-8, tomorrow 9-6, Sunday 10-5 & Monday 9-8. These are my busy days so I gotta be there, although I'd much rather be enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having (aside from the hail the other day) and crocheting!

Drumroll please................
HENRY IS FINISHED!!!!!!!

I'm not going to lie, I am a wee bit proud of Mr. Henry! He took about 20 hours and is just about 2 feet long! I think my favorite part is his face and toenails! He has gone on to his new adoptive dragon parents and I got this from his new mom:

My husband LOVES Henry!!! We are proud dragon parents!! He is sitting in a recliner watching tv and Henry is on the arm of the chair while Chuck pats his head like he was a cat or something...cute as hell! Thanx so much..you rock!!!!

I can totally imagine this, can't you?


I also was able to FO two more Zombie Kittys -- who knew they would be hot sellers??


What did you finish off this week? See more FO's at Tami's Amis!
