What's In A Name ?


Before I came up with the idea to start a blog, I already had the idea for the Angry Pincushion. He started as a doodle. I doodle a lot in my spare time. One day I decided to take my little drawing and make him a reality. And so, with a simple red tomato pincushion, some pins (of course), and a few more doodles, the Angry Pincushion was born! Cute little fellow isn't he! At the time I started my blog I wanted to make him not only the mascot but incorporate him in some of the posts, so far I have no stuck to that, but that is about to change. But first I feel it is time he receives a name.

Can you help me pick a good name for our little angry/cute friend? Feel free to leave a name idea of your own in the comments section, or send me a little message at sproutedwings@gmail.com if you are so inclined! I will be picking the name on January 31st.

Gretchen, I think a good name for the Tomato Pincushion would be, "Perry". It just seems like a Perry to me. I think you should make more of them, with different expressions. Sort of a family, I think you could sell them at a craft fair.

I was trying to think up a cutesy type name, then gave up on that!

How's abouts Tommy? As in a tommy toe tomato. Or Beefie for beefsteak tomato? Cherry or Cheery for a cherry red? Or maybe Boris for the russian black tomato?

BTW, thank you so much for the directions for the mosaic mushrooms!! I have been looking for some fun garden whimsy projects to make!! :)

Stop by and say hi sometime if you wish!! Thanks again...and good luck with "TAP"

I like the idea of "Potato" the Tomato. Otherwise, you could always go for something even more ironic - like "Ketchup"!
