If One Can't, Toucan

Back in " tatting Corner's Tat Days" We received a request for a very unusual shuttle.
Yes the toucan!





You see this was a romantic request from an older lady who's husband passed away and years ago had given her a card with these birds on it and he explained "If one can't toucan"
so I just had to make this shuttle and starting 
on the second.
Hope your summer has been a good one!

    Thank you I wondered if people from other languages could understand how the bird's name has the same sound in it as the #2

    You and your husband are so clever when it comes to creating shuttles! I love the little toucan and the story that goes with it! Wasn't there a breakfast cereal that had a toucan on the box? I remember the saying from way back when!

    I found it! It was Toucan Sam on Fruit Loops, a cereal that never appealed to me. I think my brother used to eat it.

    I love froot loops even to this day ❤ that is what I thought of when first asked to make them. I actually debated posting the cereal picture in stead
