These two live on my office bookshelf. The one on the left is the mascot of a software project I did a few years back named “Greenlight”. The one on the right is a tomatopus.
Happy #worldOctopusDay everyone! (It's the 8th of October.)
Since 2010 or so Lorrie has been making these little felt octopuses. She's made about 3,000 of them and despite having sold and given away many there are still quite a few in our house, lurking about. Here's the most recent batch, fresh from the Felting Spa.
I think the three orange ones in the middle row are persimmonpuses.
