I have been asked, and to some degree encouraged, to share the story behind each of the Gimmies needlepoint characters. A number of the canvases were created by my good and dear friend Di of Hiller Productions. But many were created out of my own imagination. (This is what happens when you spend a lot of time alone in a studio).
I think my favorite, so far, is the story of Di's frogs. Who would ever guess that a simple country pond would have so much drama!!! On a lilly pad far far away, lived a beautiful Frog Princess. She had a taste for excitement and started dating a warlock apprentice named Henley. However, she got tired of being his guinea pig with all of the spells he was learning. After all, how many times can a princess take being turned into various household items! One day, she meet the warlock's brother (Frog Prince) and fell in love. She ditched "magic boy" and married a prince who truly knew how to treat a princess.
In case any of you have missed the announcement, Nessie and Zandoran have gotten married and are expecting their first egg to hatch soon. Personally, I think the hatchling will take after the mother (Nessie).
Oh, by the way, for those of you who are new to the family, Rain and Shine Duck married a year ago and their first child (Ms Lucie) is getting ready to turn 1 year old. Oh my, how time flies!!!
