Did it by hand, she loved it. I think it is great that we can make stuff especially for our kids.moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889868486470904903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-58695054663083610982010-11-01T18:47:01.725-06:002010-11-01T18:47:01.725-06:00My daughter loves Dora, but so far hasn't requ...My daughter loves Dora, but so far hasn't requested any merchandise. When she was a tot, I made her an Iggle Piggle (from In The Night Garden - if you have no idea, google it!). This was before ITNG merch was available in Australia. Anyway, I'd never made any soft toys except for a sock monkey, so I was pretty impressed with myself! It was also an upcycling project before I even knew what upcycling was. I made it from an old baby grosuit from the opshop (thrift store), a pair of red knickers and red felt scraps. <br /><br />Check out the result here if you're interested <a rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/30493650@N00/5138179258/</a><br /><br />I didn't think I'd make any more soft toys (the kids already have heaps, and they don't really DO anything), but having seen your Train Boy and how much love he gets, I might just have to make one...Ambernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-20809399827409371072010-10-25T20:54:49.283-06:002010-10-25T20:54:49.283-06:00There was a point in time, about when my daughter ...There was a point in time, about when my daughter was 4 to 5, when she was head-over-heels in love with Diego. She always been one to talk in her sleep, and during this phase she was known to profess her love to Diego while she was sleeping. So adorable to hear her little voice saying, "I love you, Diego." while she was asleep.<br /><br />Hoping you look back on this time with a smile on your face. :)<br /><br />PS I deeply dislike Diego. And always have.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889803277345699071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-56123260336581296482010-10-25T17:24:34.266-06:002010-10-25T17:24:34.266-06:00awe!
