Who? Whosies!

We have a winner, folks--Whosies! These photos do not, of course, show her hoop, which would represent a superheroic heap of mojo I simply do not--even at my best--possess. No these horrid, shadowy, taken-in-bad-light photos are of my most recent custom order and the first ever to include a felt tricycle.
I don't mind telling you, tricycles are harder than dogs. Way harder. From now on, I charge double for vehicles of any sort. Just kidding! I'm actually pretty darn pleased with this little trike.

Yeah, so...picking a winner kind of broke my heart, folks, because your comments were so lovely and hopeful. If I had enough time and enough felt and enough skin on my fingers, well, you know. Anyhow, I'm so glad all of you popped your heads up, and I hope you will again. It's nice to know you're out there. Really nice.

Yeah, you know, I never really believed I'd reach the point in my life where my greatest sense of accomplishment during a week is making a pretty good tricycle out of felt. ;-)

And Ellerie--you are my new best friend.

Oh dear. Looks like I missed out too. That'll learn me for not diligently checking blogs :-) Congratulations on this 100 and good luck for the next 100.
