Charming, delightful and whimsical Linda! As a sewer I relate to all of your footles especially the last one as I look for a band aid! Blessings

these are very cool. I did not know if he expected a set or not. But if he wants a set, this should be a shoe-in!

I didn't know either. I just took a shot in the dark. I saw your Ant Footles won as well, and Janice's 'Fall Takes Charge' in 1st. Great minds, eh?

An excellent string of footles, Linda. It seemed to be simple, but I find it challenging. Best of luck in the contest.

Dear Linda, your clever pen has created such an enchanting string of footles. I especially adored Stitch in Time and Prickle; "needle bleedle" - just love the word play, though not the prickle itself! lol! Great imagery throughout! You make composing footles look so easy though they are definitely not. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Hello dear Susan. So nice to see you. Thank you for the kind comments. LOL needle bleed was fun to write. Many thanks, Linda
