Lately my daughter has been on a Sheriff Callie (Disney Jr. show) kick. She has a cowgirl hat, dress (with bandanna), cowgirl boots, and her own stick horse that she predictably calls Sparky. Today I was working on a couple other crochet projects, which I will post about at a later time, and she came over with her outfit on and Sparky in hand and told me that Sparky was hungry. I asked what Sparky wanted to eat, and she replied an apple; that Sparky wanted to crunch it. And so, seeing as I am on an amigurumi kick of my own, I went ahead and crocheted an apple for Sparky.

She certainly liked it and I soon heard her telling Sparky, “Want an apple? Well come and get it!”
