Manon

Manon, originally uploaded by flymissy.

For those of you (ie, probably everyone reading this) not familiar with the Welsh language 'Manon' is a girls name : ) No, not the baby I'm waiting for - he's definitely still inside! She, however, was a little tinker and kept her ma waiting sometime before popping out really nicely in the birthing pool. I had a text to say she was on her way and tried to make this little creature for her while she was being born but actually, she was faster than I was!

Made with left over yarns and bits of felt (all unused those, naturally) and new stuffing. She also has the ubiquitous name tag only I couldn't fit it on her hip like the others so hers is on her bottom : ) I just made up the shape as I went and I'm not sure if it works. It might be better suited as a weapon perhaps, LOL!

And yes, this little thing has some rather fluffy bits, maybe too much so for such a little bairn but I was so inspired by the bright, fluffy creations of eanie meanie on flickr although mine's much more simple and not nearly as fabulous of course!
