Where We Came From
By Rosedawn
There once lived a toy maker and his daughter, on the outskirts of a very small little town. The children loved visiting the toy maker because every toy that he made he made especially for that person. He always said that the most worthwhile thing to build was something that brought countless hours of joy. I remember my father telling me so when I was very small. I watched in awe of him as he stitched together this small little stuffed mouse, just for me, and placed it in my waiting arms. "And this one is special made for you, Little Mouse," he laughed, and the whole room rattled and laughed along with him, "And so long as you take good care of it, it will take good care of you."

But as time passed things changed. Instead of buying the special handmade pieces from the toymaker, children wanted the shiny new toys from the city. Everyone wanted to leave the small village behind, with its small old ways and go off on grand adventures far away. We left behind such things like stuffed animals and wooden swords and skipped towards the glow of the city like moths to a flame. Slowly but surely the little toy shop became little more than a memory, even to me. When I spoke with my father he would tell me how much he missed the laughter.

My father grew gravely ill shortly after that, and I rushed home to be by his side. He told me he had something very special waiting for me in the toy shop.

The place was covered in dust and grime from years of neglect. Buttons and ribbons and stuffing lay strewn on every table. I had no idea what he wanted me to find until I saw it, sitting on his favorite stool, my own little mouse. He'd patched the holes and cleaned the cloth from years and years of love and play, and even stitched up the place where one of my classmates had ripped it open, but he'd left the needle hanging. I picked up my old friend, feeling myself smile for the first time in days. Beneath was a little note, Take care of it, Little Mouse, and it will take care of you.

There was a single stitch left to tie off. Quickly I sewed up my old friend, tying the last knot and cutting it free. "Now you take care of the shop my little meece, while I go take care of Papa."

The next morning I returned to the shop, determined to clean it up to be sold in order to pay for my papa's medicine. When I entered the sounds of something scurrying caught my attention and I hurried to find the source. Following the sound to the work table, what I saw I could scarcely believe. My little meece (for how could I mistake it?) was actually MOVING. It was scurrying around, cleaning the shop!

When it saw me tiny squeaks and chittering erupted from inside. It rushed over, bouncing around until I picked it up. In its hands was a needle. It left that in my palm and hopped down to a pile of fabric and thread and buttons, cheeping all the while. "Do you want me to make you a friend?"

We have dozens now, and every time I tie that last knot they turn their heads and look at me with such love. A love I know I have to share. It's exactly what my father wanted.

Welcome to our second thread! Patchwork are definitely growing. Fanta has almost completely finished the snails. :3 I have asked her to work on one species at a time then send it to me when it is completed. I will, of course, need everyone's help with the names for these species. After all, you all pretty much named them Meeces and Patchwork without my input lol.

As promised, here is the animal mimics thread hinted upon in our first thread. Those who still have namings and such needed from the first thread can post them here or PM me. Please do not post on the old thread.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Rules

Events end August 6th at 15:30. Raccoon ends when he is found.


Fawns are adorable little baby cuties. As can be seen by this adorable picture of me and a precious baby deer:

Now this little guy didn't have to rely on his natural camouflage in order to survive. He was cared for by a human family and kept safe in a pen after his mother died with his twin sister. However baby deer in the wild rely on their spots to camouflage them. This little Meece wants you to tell him what you would use to create a little nest to camouflage him. Anything you think would camouflage this little critter from the imaginary predators.


This wily little raccoon keeps on hiding from me! Help me find him? You can guess as often as you like, but there must be at least two people between your guesses though! To select a square, trace the row and column to find the corresponding number and letter. For example, the square in the very top left corner would be A1.

I feel bad for the little gemsbok boy, so! I have some old, velvet-y black material my aunt left here years ago. I was gonna make a pillow out of it or something similar if I managed to get some sewing material (I don't actually have any thread right now so sadly I can't make his horns right now). Instead I'll just make a pair of horns using that and pillow stuffing from my super flat pillow.

I keep trying to count those zebras and then I lose track of which ones I've already counted XD
This may take me a while.

 Anemone Anemone 5 please?

Zebra Hint
Trry saving the image to paint and marking the ones you have counted

[Kahlira]

I think there are 40 zebras in that pic.

[Kahlira]

My dear tarantula lad, you think it's weird that you can shoot hairs off your legs? Man, wish I were that lucky, but nope, I must resort to a razor and shave them off myself. But I have heard of another critter that has a strange defense mechanism. It is the Coast Horned Lizard. It shoots blood from it's eyes. I'll give you a moment to digest that information.

All done? Yep. This lizard will indeed shoot blood from it's eyes as a last ditch effort to save it's hide from being eaten. This lizard can shoot up to a third of it's blood in one shot. It is also laced with a bit of some form of noxious chemical from the ants it eats, helping to further annoy his predators. This jet of blood can go up to two feet away.
