Today's (and cool, I just discovered how to make the photos bigger!):
Charlie's that's been slept on for about a year, washed many times, and was mostly made by him:
The eyes on today's bugged me a bit, they are just embroidery thread, and I felt they needed something more. I tried some little eyebrows but spent ages unpicking them because they looked too messy. I think he'll do. Simple can be good, right?
Also just wanted to say, I love chenille. Love it. And this here is good quality chenille, which I didn't realise until I saw some rather thin, crappy stuff at Spotlight. Love a quality novelty fabric :-)
I've been procrastinating about the Negroni sew-along. I haven't measured Andy up yet so I couldn't even start tracing off the pattern today. I hope to make some big progress on the weekend. It's been stinking hot here, although I shouldn't complain because at least we haven't had floods or cyclones in my part of Australia. I feel like I ought to be making about a thousand pieces of smiling chenille comfort to send up north right now.
Oh, this is really cute. Joe would love something like this. I always feel guilty that he doesn't have many plush things because my dogs can't tell the difference between their toys and his, so they rip them apart. But he likes his plush toys in his crib at night.
