400 finger puppets stitched

This week I stitched past my 400th finger puppet, which just happened to be an elephant. When I started making finger puppets last year, I certainly didn't expect to stitch that many of them!

Crazy, but I'm not tired of stitching yet ... Would anyone care to make a guess as to when I will hit number 500? Post your guess (one guess per person, please) in the comments below & whoever comes closest to the correct date and time (EST), I will send the 500th puppet to. If there are duplicate guesses, I will accept the one that is posted first. It may be awhile before I hit 500 (no hints), but I will post here when I have hit the mark.

Void where prohibited, no purchase neccesary, and so forth and so on.

PS. Can't wait that long for a finger puppet? Visit my Etsy shop & pick one up!

I stitched my 500th puppet (a little bat) this morning, September 21.
Congratulations to sjmercure, whose guess of Oct 26th was the closest!
sjmercure, please contact me so I know where to send your puppet.

Thanks everyone for taking a guess. I had fun and maybe I will have another giveaway, soon!

time to list these

Sweet Cupcake Cards in my Etsy shop. I listed them as a set of 3 with matching envelopes.

I've been really busy lately... Other things that I am working on are: an autumn colors / autumn leaves themed item for my etsy shop, in association with the new Etsy Theme Shop Blog. Members will post specially themed items each month.

I am also hosting a "haunted house" themed chunky book via nervousness.org. The completed book will be a haunted house. The front cover starts with the front gate & each page will progress through the property and rooms of a haunted house. There are still a few spots open to join (if you dare).
