A Purple Cow
This ornament is a reproduction of a beloved one from mom & dad's Christmas tree. Their dog and cat had a little tree-tipping-rodeo last year and the original purple cow got a little chewed. He was brought to me for rescue/reincarnation as he is a favorite of my youngest sister. Purple Cow was purchased at a church bazaar in the 1960/1970s and sent to my dad as a gift from my grandma. He has been on the tree for as long as I can remember. My new and improved version uses the rhinestone eyes from the original. Since I was making a new Purple Cow, I decided to make a pattern and share it with all of you. You can make your own Purple Cow for your tree with this purple cow pattern.

Mother of the artist
addendum:
Original creator had in mind the Ogden Nash poem, thought it might be a big seller at a "dairy country" Christmas bazaar in northern NY.
purple cow is too cute...i'd be tempted to make purple cow, green cow, blue cow, the rainbow herd...
I think the cows are great and a rainbow herd would be funny. The only part of the original design I don't like is the red eyes.
The Purple Cow
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.
I have to agree with Becka.....not so big on the red eyes. I wonder what my other half would do with purple cow.....he is already is disturbed by star fish and a little wooden monkey.
