Squirrel, owl, badger, anything that little boys would like. How about a snake too? Oh, a koala would be fantastic. Do you want a longer list? Seriously - anything you make is just wonderful. Put me down for a book and any test tatting you want done too.

ReplyDeleteHmm... I'll have to think about that. Better yet, I think I'll ask my grandson. Love the skunk!
ReplyDeleteOh Martha, I love your little PePe LaPue!! You are so clever!!
ReplyDeleteHe is delightful.
ReplyDeleteGecko please! really cute please!
Chamaeleon...ditto!
A Beaver please. Is that classed as a critter?
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about a sheep or have you already done that one?
ReplyDeletethis is a super cute skunk, martha. i love your critters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the suggestions. I'll see what I can do. There's a squirrel in the first book, and I've already got a sheep in progress.
ReplyDeleteI agree that critters appropriate for boys is a great idea: snake, bugs, dog, shark, bear, turtle, alligator, tiger, frog and how about a greedy personal request for a Celtic fish?
ReplyDeleteDoes that give you food for thought?
love the critters...
ReplyDeleteWhat critters would I like to see..
lemurs,
pandas
cassowary
that crane with the brush on his head....
Hi Martha,
ReplyDeleteOh I am liking these critters, how about a monkey for Meagan and a sheep for me
A moose!
ReplyDeleteA jelly fish!
Curly - wait - he's not officially a critter.
A red-winged blackbird!
Love the skunk. Would love to see a hedgehog, racoon, possum, woodchuck, fox, ferret, weasel, mole, turtle, frog, maybe chipmunk. Jane has the right idea--stuff little boys would like; squirrels are cute.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have a full list for the book soon.
Oh how about a scottish terrier, boston terrier, koala, badger. I really love see the work you do. Such great idea to but on kids clothing. If you need any test tatting you would like done. Please think of me. Has I have the time being a stay at home mom of a 4 half year old.

Too cute! Aardvark, rhino, giraffe, cockatoo, crab, zebra, and wolverine(What can I say? I'm a Michigander.) And like Jane, if you're ever looking for a tester, me me me!
