The Heiress

Okay sheeps, it's almost time for the 2012 Tour de Fleece. While the team won't be quite the same without Miss Ewenice this year, the tour must go on. Who thinks they can step up and take charge?

"Um, I uh, I think I would like to."

What was that?

"Me. I think I can do it. I was in the tour last year, remember? I make pretty yarn and I even like to knit."



"Why yes, Petunia, you'd be a perfect team captain!"



"Okay, I'll do my best everybody."

Presenting....



The newest queen of the Tour de Fleece.



Janbaby and I had fun putting together Petunia's head piece, but the real fun always starts when you actually put it on. Not just any sheep would tolerate a bunch of flowers tied to her head, but I knew Petunia would think it was just fine. Some of the other sheep were pretty intrigued though.



While others were more interested in the cookies we used to try to get her to look up and smile at the camera.



Way more interested.

Would you like to say a few words, Petunia?



"Mmrumph? (chew, chew, chew, swallow) It's time to get ready for the 2012 Tour de Fleece!"



"I know how to spin. Can I join the group?"

Of course you knew Princess Blossom would have to get in on the fun ;-). Interestingly, Blossom got her name because from the minute I picked her up, she loved to have her face rubbed just like Petunia.
