Well it seems like an eon ago, but today the technicolour chook is finally making a return.
He's been waiting in the wings (very bad pun intended) for the loooooongest time.
You see, after Vic drew him for me waaaaaay back in March, I ordered a fabric version, with the intention of making my mum a cushion for Mothers Day.
I waited and I waited and I waited...... and after about 8 weeks, he arrived. Two whole weeks after Mothers Day.
Never one to be defeated, I hatched (another very bad pun intended) an alternative plan to make him into a cushion for my mums birthday (which is today).
Somewhere between mid-May and last week, he got completely lost in the fabric jungle known as 'my stash'.
But then luckily on Friday, I had a massive clean up and he magically re-appeared.
Talk about perfect timing...
