squee!
by gl. at 10:51 am
when shelley told me she was working on a pincushion for my birthday, i didn't know what to expect. even the picture she posted on the blog seemed unbelievable. but last week i received a box in the mail and there was "squee!"
[squee! waves hello]
i was stunned! i've never seen anything like it! she comes packed with everything: scissors, seam rippers, pins, needles, a decorated needle threader, thimble, buttons, rickrack & ribbon... and thread spools for curls! she stands firmly upright thanks to a weighted base.
of course, toby took to squee! right away:
[toby says, "I HAVE A NEW FRIEND!"]
thanks, shelley! what an unexpectedly thoughtful gift! SQUEEEEEEEE!

Wow! I want one! (And a Toby, too.)

Toby is kind of funny looking, but I like his big personality. He seems like someone I could see eye to eye with.

Eeek! That is so GREAT!! Is Squee his name, or just the sound you make when you first meet him?!

bridget: i think squee! is her name, but that's the sound you're supposed to make upon seeing her. shelley named her that. :)
toby says, "THANKS, SHU-JU! AND NICE TO MEET YOU, CINNAMON BEAR!"

Heeheee! I'm soooooo happy you and your friends dig her, Gretchin!! I thought she was fun and would fit right in with Toby, your other glovish sewing pal!
Now, anytime you like you can sew some new softie creations or other fabric amusements using tools of your very own! yay!
PS: I tucked a little magic snag repair needle in Squeeeee's gear in her hairdoo area--don't overlook this unassuming device for wardrobe malfunction fixes! Anything with a pull or snag can be rendered perfect again by pulling this tool through the snag into the inside of the garment. The textured threading on the butt end of the needle take the snag back through to the reverse side, leaving the outside looking as pristine as the first day it was made. I use mine a lot. :)
Mozel Tov! xoxooxox shelley
