About a week before I left on my trip to Saskatoon and Calgary I had an urgent call from Will and Alex. Would I be able to make them a mascot head? They would like it to be a dragon head please!
I found a pattern for a Hallowe’en costume that featured a hood with spikes and, after verifying with the boys that this would work, I bought some fabrics. Because the boys range in sizes I ended up making two mascot heads.
In order to hide their faces we purchased black nylons which were cut and pulled over their heads. Because of the flash on my camera their faces show more than they do in “real life”.
Will recently had a chance to be the mascot at Alex’s soccer game.
The inside is fully lined, and the roof lifts up on one side. The house is full of Easter chocolates and candies.
My grandson Alex is crazy about Mickey Mouse. I made this pattern for his second birthday. My daughter and I conspired over the pattern. I thought I had a book with Disney characters in needlepoint and I thought it would be adaptable to cross stitch. This was just a few weeks after we moved and I was having trouble locating anything, let alone a specific pattern. It turns out that I never have found that book – perhaps it was given away in the clean up I did before the move.
