My Good Cousin was expecting her first baby. She is one of my favorite people in the world so it follows that I wanted to make her something really lovely. I decided to splash out on some forest green mohair from Germany, and construct some type of softie critter. Part cat, part lamb, part Gizmo from the Gremlin’s movie. I used green paisley patterned fabric for added cute details.

The end result was a little more squat than my design sketch. But maybe a little more friendly?

A test run on Master J was a gleeful success.

I am told Baby Grace is also quite taken with her fluffy new friend.

Ms Dolly was made a few months back and since then Little Girl S and Ms Dolly have been around the world and back again on a grand adventure.
