Calling All Crafters! You Could Be Featured on Squirrel Picnic

Margie's Mr. Potato Head

Margie’s Mr. Potato Head is amazing. She even crocheted the facial features!

Have you made a pair of croshades and used them to yarnbomb your neighborhood? Have you made a Batman mask, a Mr. Potato Head, or a Bowser sweater for your turtle? Do you have a Squirrel Picnic character that you’re proud to call your own? If so, I’d love to see it.

I can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!
