Meet Polly Esther Fuzzybottom
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 I have been relatively internet-free since sometime last week. Because I wasn't typing much of anything, my fingers were itching for busywork, so I decided to wrangle some pink, fuzzy yarn with a crochet hook.
I pretty much hate loopy yarn now. Loopy yarn pretty much hates crochet hooks.
I am bad at making stuff that stands up on its own, so extra-precious Polly Esther Fuzzybottom scored herself a nest to keep her upright.
No mind-altering chemicals were consumed in either the construction or naming of Polly Esther Fuzzybottom, except for maybe some beer. And karaoke.
Sadly, her cuteness was taken off the market by my friend Honey Brown as soon as she surfaced. At least she has granted me visitation rights. Ms. Fuzzybottom's preciousness is hard to shake.
On tomorrow's menu: Edwina, the macrocephalic, pasties-wearing, knocked-up crackpot.

I am in love wiht Polly Esther Fuzzybottom.
Ditto!
Very adorable and original! I hope maybe someday she has some cousins. :-)
The size of her nest relative to the size of her fuzzybottom reminds me of my current dive apartment in Toronto. *rimshot*
I wish I knew how to make stuff like that! you rock!
I love her. And you made her with no pattern, right? I'm going to have to try that!
Heee! This is both unbearably cute and hysterically amusing. Something about the fuzz + big eyes. I can see why she got snapped up right out of the nest. Dead cats and fuzzy bottoms... What Will Be Next?!
We want Ms. Ducky Fuzzybottom. Purdy please! Could you make her?
Go see my blog post today. Laura (my youngest daughter) is a big ducky fan. Big, I tell you, big!
Polly Esther Fuzzybottom is awesome.
Oh she's so lovely and loopy.
My grandmother has a great aunt named (and I'm so not kidding) Polly Ester Valentine (of course she was named before the invention of polyester).
oh man, i'm looking forward to Edwina the macrocephalic pasties-wearing knocked-up crackpot!!
and i'm jealous of your safety eyes having ability.
and also, are you creating these patters from scratch?
I am creating these creatures from scratch. I don't know how to read patterns, so I'm just making them up as I go along.
So bloomin cute!!!
Honey Brown is a lucky lady. This creature rocks!
I love love love your crochet projects. Brilliant!
I wait with bated breath for Edwina. And her crocheted pasties.
OMG it's Chicka from PBS Kids Sprout!
Dude. I love her.
I love Polly Esther. She is actually painfully cute, in a ugly way; like a Cabbage Patch Kid.
Also, I was ::this close:: to being named Polly Esther. After my 2 grandma's, my Mom said "we can't name her Esther for a first name it is terrible". My Dad replied "fine lets call her Polly Esther then".
Thankfully they settled on Danita after I was born.
