Friday, January 5, 2024 Mrs. Twig

Some of my long-suffering followers have noted that I’ve been awfully slow in finishing the story about Figgy the Intrepid Frog. If it were just the writing process, I’d have finished it long ago, but the story itself emerged when I started making a set of felt animals from a book called “Little Travelers” by Simone Gooding. The last animal in the book (and the last chapter of the story) is a matronly little squirrel named Mrs. Twig. I started Twig last April and didn’t even know then if it was Mr. or Mrs. Twig, but things have settled themselves out nicely since then.

I burst out of the 2024 gate with a great deal of zeal for finishing projects and conquering the Beast of Procrastination in my life. Meet Mrs. Twig!

There are a few more elements to her ensemble (a picnic blanket and a basket of acorns) which I intend to whip out speedily – yes, speedily! You heard it here first. And when she’s done, the story’s end shall come.

I will delete this in the morning – speedily!
