Long time in the making

I've had this guy for a few years, my Mom bought the pattern for me for Christmas a few years back and I put him in my craft cabinet as he is made with 2-liter soda bottle and I don't buy soda in the bottles to often, we buy soda by the case. So he got put away and on the few occasions that I did buy a 2-liter, I would forget to save the bottle. A few weeks ago when I had nothing else to work on, I took him out and started working on him as I knew I would have some soda bottles from my Christmas party, and I actually remembered to save the bottle this time..lol. I finally got him done Saturday night and showed him to my Mom yesterday when she came for a visit. She said it's about time that I got him done. :)
