Ollie, the Octopus
Here he is!! The big dangerous fellow I wrastled with. Fear him, fear him!! Ok, so I exaggerated, or you could say I like telling stories…ok I lied. I don’t go deep sea diving. I don’t catch octopi and drag them home. BUT B. U. T. T. (hee hee I wrote butt. I’m keeping it) BUT I did sew him up!! He’s a wonderful pattern from Alice at futuregirl.com. I’ve named him Ollie. Ollie, the octopus.
Oh yeah and did I mention maybe that he isn’t so big that he sits on my lap like I depicted him yesterday. He’s not that big hulking creature but a sweet little guy who likes to sit by my computer. He’s about three inches tall.
He sits there staring at me and whenever I look at him I pat his tiny little head. And he oh so enjoys it. He wiggles his tentacles in glee. That’s his favorite spot and when I pick him up he reaches his tentacles down trying to hold onto the table.
When he’s not sitting by my computer he likes sitting on heads as you can see in the picture below and also this picture.
So back to what I was saying. Alice will be selling the pattern for him on her blog. You have probably seen her Octophrost and the one and only Sigmund who I absolutely fell in love with. Well Alice asked me to test the pattern out. Her directions were so easy to follow and now I have my own little octopus!! I was telling her how happy he makes me. I’m all giddy happy and I kept saying to Alan did you see my octopus? And he’s like yes dear I already saw your octopus.
How cool is he?!?!?! And soon everyone can make their own little octopus friend.

You are so funny. Got me laughing out loud especially with Isabelle stuffing food into her toes and that you make the cute octopus sit atop people’s heads.
Funnnnnnny!

Ollie is awesome, I’m so impressed. I also love the snake quilt. I think we all have projects that have sat around for a while. I know I’ve had my share.

By far your best creation ever! Once you get that store up and running, Ollie will be the best seller. In fact I would like 3 please…now where do I pay??

There’s a reason he’s such a wonderful creation. It’s not my pattern!!
He comes from the creative mind of Alice and only she has the right to make him to sell.
