JOLLY OLD SOUL

This guy is ready to go and patterns are available upon request.  Im moving very slowly because last Sunday I tripped, fell, and blew out my knee.  had to cancel my appearances at the Quilt Expo, and Sheep and Wool show.  Plus I had a bad reaction to the pain meds so I've pretty much been on the couch with tea, toast, and 200 episodes of NYPD BLUE.  Keep on punchin.
