So this was a last-minute addition.
"Tentacles", I said to myself.
"We need a variation with lotsa legs all around the body like a tutu."
And eyelids.
So squid it was.
It's not one of the animals in the pattern at the moment because, as I said, it was a last-minute addition, after all the templates had already been traced out and apportioned to the allotted pages. And by "last minute", I mean "instead of packing for our trip to Singapore, I was sewing stuffed sea animals and doing photoshoots on the deck". But I had to show him to you because we have a running squid joke in our family and I've always wanted to make a squid but could never justify it. Till now.
This is my favourite. Love your collective imagination!
ReplyDeleteYou just had waaay too much fun with these critters!! :) The squid might just be my new favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I love it so. I have stopped showing your creations to my kids because they want all of them. But I want that squid! Where are you putting all of these creatures? My house is going to be overrun.....
ReplyDeleteOoo he's sweet as well.
ReplyDeleteHave fun in singapore.
You made your squid!!! This guy's eyes are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking that there must be a law of diminishing cuteness when using a softie sloper, but each you show show is cuter than the last! I'm seriously crushing on this squid.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with packing!!
Haha! I love him! And this series. Even if it does inspire me to make softies, which is really a form of procrastinating from real work...but at least my kids love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI always post the wrong way...that was me as "unknown google"
ReplyDeleteNot in the pattern?! NOOOOO!! I have my heart set on making a plush Cthulhu and tentacles are PIVOTAL! I mean... I could probably figure it out, looking at your pictures here... but still!
ReplyDeleteI have truly never, ever needed something more in my life than the pattern for that squid.
ReplyDeleteI think he sheep is my favorite! He is to cute! Are you getting a book published with these? If so I am seriously buying it :)
ReplyDeleteHe's very cute. I love those sleepy eyes. That's really exciting that you're coming to Singapore. Maybe I should start hanging around the Textile Centre in the hope of running into you! It's my new favourite place here - second only to People's Park Complex.
