Little Henry

 Hi friends.

🐩Little Henry🐩 

I had been planning to make an "animal cracker-type Henry" before he died, I just did not get to it fast enough. 😢 I have been restricted by my doctor from stitching for almost all of August, due to the bicep tendonitis. I stitched Henry with my left hand. When there is a will, there is a way. It comforted me to create and make this.

I created this little pattern to look like Henry when he was a bit younger. He used to do a trick. I asked him to do "Up top." He would stand on his hind legs like this and barely tap my hands with his front paws. 🐾🥺 Oh Henry. I miss you so.

🧵I stitched Henry two over two on 32ct Marbled Bunny linen with DMCs. I used Marbled Bunny for the back also. It is filled with wood shavings from Emerson. Henry stands 3 1/2 inches top to bottom. Tiny. Just like him. 💗

The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

Be acceptable in Your sight,

O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.  Psalm 19:1,14

Thank you for your compassion and support and friendship and prayers. God bless you.

Stitching and praying,

Vickie

💔This is my favorite dog I have ever owned in my life, and we have had quite a few now. He had a a grand mal seizure that was too much for him. My little buddy, my bestest buddy suffers no more.

I had Eleanor Rigby with a grey linen and all the called for flosses in a drawer, waiting for Henry's passing for a very long time. Once he passed, Brian, Madeleine and I agreed that it was too dark for our little Henry. As Madeleine said, "He was such a happy little boy." So I stitched Sweet Baby instead. Very fitting for Henry. 🐩

🧵I used a 40ct mystery linen from my stash and all of the called for GA threads. I used DMC for Henry.

I have begun the hunt for a special frame.

I have been wondering ever since Henry's death if he is in Heaven. I have found this video extremely comforting and accurate.
