Wednesday, January 25, 2023 Snail Mail

~ Foodiness

After a hiatus of over a year, I’m poised to finish the set of felt animals that I found in the book “Little Traveller” by Simone Gooding. Those of you who have following my blog for at least a couple years will remember that I started out with the frog named “Fig Newton” and followed up with the bear, the fox and the hedgehog, as well as three little girl dolls. I’ve been writing stories about them as I go. I should probably link those stories together at some point.

The next little critter to be added to the set is a cute little snail that delivers mail.

All I’ve done so far is cut out some of the felt and fabric to get ready to sew. Hopefully by next week, the whole thing will be done (she says optimistically). I still have to purchase the felt for the mailbox, too.

I don’t have a name for this snail yet, although I’ve already received the suggestion of naming him “Clive.” This brings pleasant associations with C.S. Lewis (Clive Staples) and seems appropriate since he was an active correspondent using snail mail back in his day.

Let the sewing begin!

I’ll probably tuck this post into an envelope and mail it in the morning.

Too old to figure out how to start a blog; too young to give up entirely.

  1. Let’s just simply declare the name “Clive” as the winner of the snail-naming contest.
    After all, what possibly better name could there be for such a cute snail..?!?
    (Uh Oh, I may have opened things up for opposition on this matter…). But there are already three (3) votes for “Clive” – mine, Lynn’s (at least hearty approval), and Percival the Hedgehog’s..!
