Veronica is a plushie that Jolene made way back when she was just getting into crafting in a more substantial way, discarding patterns and trying things out for herself. I’m pretty sure she was based on something Jolene saw on-line somewhere, although what or where is now long forgotten.
For a while I was uploading bits n’ pieces of Jolene’s work to my deviantart account and it was there that Veronica was spotted by fellow ‘deviant’ Bumba-Meu-boi, aka Marcela, who showed her admiration in the comments section. It was admittedly a while before Jolene saw the comments, although once she had she took it in her stride and decided to offer Veronica free gratias as it were …
… it took a while to get to the post-office although it turned out that it was cheaper (and quicker) to post the parcel to Brazil than it has been to post items to the USA! I’d imagined it would have been the other way around?!
The picture above shows Veronica languishing on our window sill soaking up what little sun we get, you can even see the last vestiges of snow in the background. Gladly Veronica arrived safely in Brazil and Marcela took a couple of pictures, below you can see Veronica lazying happily in the sun, yeah I know! It’s alright for some!?!?
Anyway, I hope Veronica has a lovely life, not only in a different country, on a different continent, but also in a different hemisphere … where the weather is seems so much more appropriate for sun lounger like Veronica. Now, we just need to find something else to fill the gap in the shelf!

Ohhh I think Veronica is fab! I hope she is happy -she can always come for a holiday down here ;o)
Ah now you see, I’m sure she’d gladly come holiday with you had she not emigrated to such a beautifully sunny country where she can lounge around the pool all day drinking cocktails and relaxing with her man-servant!!
