My Aunt brought me the coat years ago, it was a very old muskrat coat. She was helping an elderly relative to clean out her apartment, they came across the coat and she knew exactly where to take it. I had it hanging in my stash of fur for awhile and then decided to make the largest fur bear I had ever made, I started with one of my favorite patterns and decided to make her much much bigger, I am pleased with the results, but Miss Mattie will always be with me, shortly after she was finished my son's rescued kitten decided to lay on her lap and while cleaning himself he just kept on going and cleaned her whole leg, but must have found something on her foot he really liked, cause he cleaned the pelt right off of it!
I was pretty ticked with him,, his name was Rascal,, suited him to a tee! Unfortunately Miss Mattie's fur is just too old to be repaired, so she is a permanent resident in my favorite room, for the most part I think she is quite happy there she can see out into the family room and she loves her vintage hat and mink wrap, you cant see it, but around her neck she has an adorable little case that holds her sewing scissors, so far she hasn't used them,,, guess she figures if the Boss ain't working,, hey why should she!
I don't think I will get anything else done until the Birthday Party is over,, Oh well!
Enjoy your day!
Sue
