Most people know my grandfather and my uncle started the Lacey Moose Lodge 50 years ago and my father is a big part of that place today. For their 50th anniversary I decided to make them a Moose. I didn't tell my dad what I was doing, but I had my mom in cahoots with me because I needed the free drink chip π
anyway, I surprised my dad with it and then today he surprised them with it and now Manny the Moose lives happily inside the Lacey Lodge π
A quick little back story about making this...
The pattern that I used for this was not written the best and I had a helluva time trying to read through it. I only stuck with that pattern because it was named Manny the Moose (my uncle who was part founder) and it was published on my dad's birthday (11/22). I took that as a sign that it was ment to be.
