Charlotte guessed!



Nessie in pastels was requested by the Queen of my Star of Africa Bee  May!  She is wearing a Tam o' Shanter hat as immortalised by our national poet Robbie Burns in his scary Hallowe'en poem of that name....You can read it here in Scots (an English dialect) or in so-called translation!

We are making blocks representing our country and as there are two others from the UK I have opted to represent my homeland of Scotland !  So far I have sent Hamish to Patti in Canada



And now Nessie goes to May who is a Swedish Finn living in Germany !  Hope I got that right...?    We have members scattered across the globe and are learning lots on the way!  It is a bit like virtual travelling and fortunately for me we communicate in English - phew!

  4. I love Nessie!!! Hope he doesn't get caught on camera going through customs and create an international incident. I can see the headline now 'Nessie deserts homeland!' The possibilities for puns are endless and the red-tops would have a whale of a time ;o)
