A New Woodland Friend
I love making stuffed friends. I really do.
So I knew as soon as I heard that one of my closest friends of all time was having her first baby, that I had to make her (baby) one. But which?
I have amassed a nice little collection of stuffie patterns over the years . . . so many cute ones to choose from. Are you at all surprised that I went rogue and got a new one? :)
I had become acquainted with Sarah's work when I discovered her Dolly Donations site awhile back. It was one of the first ones I bookmarked as I pondered putting together a Craft for a Cause post (something I'd like to revisit more and more this year as time allows). Her adorable Etsy shop Dolls and Daydreams is filled with patterns for some absolutely darling dolls. And based on my experience with this pattern, I'll definitely be a customer of hers again (likely in the near future).


I love the little tail . . . SO CUTE.
While I was making breakfast the morning after I completed it, Little Miss was helping Molly Monkey and the Stag get better acquainted.
She (and Molly) were both sad to learn he's destined to live with another family.
I'm so glad to do it though. Though I am positive, based on my experience with the baby's parents, that he won't have a hard time making good friends . . . I thought it couldn't hurt to start him off with one.
Love you, Baby P!

More power to you for doing animals. I do a lot of crafting, but animals and I just don't usually make it. Lovely gift for your friend.

These guys are so cute! I attempted to make a doll for my niece for Christmas. None of the results were nearly as cute as these. :)
Thanks for all the sweet feedback everyone! This pattern is definitely a winner.
