Wee Beastie.


Several years ago, when K was just a little thing, she went through a time when she absolutely loved "My Friend Totoro." (The title is really "My Neighbor Totoro," but we have a VHS from the originally US release.) She had to watch it every day. So for Easter that year I made her a little friend, Chibi-Totoro,









I still love those little toes.

I made the eyes out of those buttons you cover with fabric and black buttons with the backs cut off. Hot glued them together and sewed them in place. I love the crosseyed effect.

They are not for small children. Repeat not! K was past the put everything in your mouth stage.

Buy the way, K loved your puffs, especially the feet. She is going to try to make a set. I'll post pictures when she's done.
