Percy

 I'd like to introduce you to Percy.


I found the pattern for Percy here.

A profile view.


As you can see he has rather a big bottom.

Percy has feet made from felt rather than crochet as indicated in the pattern.  I tried three times to make his feet but couldn't wrap my head around the instructions.  I think his rather large felt feet suit him just fine.


Percy stands at about 22cm in height.  I won't disclose his waist measurement 'cos he might be a tad embarrassed if we talk about the size of his girth!


We all know that penguins can't fly, unfortunately Percy didn't believe me when I told him and just had to try it anyway.  It doesn't help when you have been eating more than your fair share of fish.


Percy is moving to his new home tomorrow with one of Miss G.'s friends who adores penguins.  He will be in the company of four moggies who are sure to pay him lots of attention.

Bye for now,

Anne  xx

Soft toy

This little soft toy is will be flying all the way to China to keep a 6 month old orphan girl company this Christmas.  I found the pattern on the internet and used some fabric in my cupboard to make it.  It was very fiddly to make but I enjoyed it immensely.
If anyone has any little warm sweaters, leggings or toys to help out with the programme, here is the link .

Have a lovely day everyone,

Anne
