Every Inchie Monday: Octopus

Hello Fellow Inchers,

Today's word for Every Inchie Monday is Octopus.  What a great word.  I don't think I'd ever want to meet one in person, or eat one, but I love cute depictions of them.  The one weird thing I know about octopi is that for some reason they get thrown on the ice at Detroit Red Wings hockey games (in the playoffs, I think, or maybe for hat-tricks?).  I have no idea why.  But it must be pretty gross cleaning them up.  Not to mention wasting a precious resource.  


Here is my drawn inchie:







And I have two versions of quilled inchies (sorry for the blurriness):







Sorry I didn't get around to commenting on everyone's inchie last week.  I'm having some medical issues.

Have a great week.  Couldn't we all use eight arms to get everything done?

  2. Oh Kia, hope you're better soon. Why are they throwing octopi on ice?! Dead ones or are they alive when thrown? OMG! Someone must have thrown one once and Red Wings won that game and now it's superstition.
    Your octopi are just cutesters! Particularly the first 3-D quilled one :)

  12. I think even three arms would help sometimes, particularly when tying a bow! We did almost the same drawn octopus but I love your quilled ones!

  13. Lovely, Kia! I hope you are feeling better. While you're working on those issues, check this out from the red wings own website:
    "Two Detroit brothers, Pete and Jerry Cusimano - storeowner's in Detroit's Eastern Market - threw the eight-legged cephalopod on the ice at Olympia Stadium. Each tentacle of the octopus was symbolic of a win in the playoffs. Back then, the NHL boasted only six teams, and eight wins (two best-of-seven series) were needed to win the Stanley Cup. The Red Wings swept the series that year, and the Octopus has come to be the good luck charm ever since."
    All I can say about that is "EWWW!"
    I've always said that when a woman gives birth, she ought to grow six extra arms to help manage the little bundle of energy and all the STUFF that goes along with it! And by the time the child reaches the age of majority, to have them disappear, leaving only the first two to hug them and send them on their way.
    It's a thought.
    Love your inchies! Have a brilliant day! c
