The giraffe is the cover model from Susan's latest book, Itty Bitty Toys. This book is chockful of awesomeness.
This guy was so fun to make!
Luke didn't want to let go of him long enough for a picture.
I decided to use poly pellets for part of his stuffing. They're dangerous for little kids, so I carefully sewed them up in little muslin bags before stuffing the giraffe. I think it makes a big difference for a stuffed animal of this size.
Susan sent along a Pom Tree. It's a great tool, and it made quick work of all of the pom-poms for this little guy.
Doesn't get much cuter than that...
I hope everyone had a happy Easter! It was 85 degrees here today, so we spent most of the day outside. We went for a ride in the Jeep, stopped by the bookstore (open on Easter?!?), and had a yummy dinner.

That is about the most adorable thing I have seen!
It turned out great! And what an Easter basket; did he even get any candy?! I remember working at Barnes & Noble on Easter. I went to Target today because their website didn't say they would be closed but they were. Hmph.
Susan needs to see these photos. She'd be happy to see how much Luke loves his giraffe!
ohmy goodness! too cute! The spots, and the fact that he won't let go!
