Recently made a little friend for myself. I figured it would be an easy project - a couple pieces of cut up felt, glue, embroidery, and a handful of cotton for stuffing. Turns out my embroidery skills are a bit rusty - that french knot got me cursing up a storm! I ended up fudging around and “faking” a french knot. Who would know?

Climbing up a tree:
I will be making more little friends in the near future. She’s not as perfect as I’d like her to be, but she’s my first one, so hopefully the others will be better. =)
