The first sister was born in June 2013. This one will be arriving pretty soon in a week or so. Made originally for my Grandson who was 7 at the time. Popular for a while (kids do get bored with the same toy) it got passed onto his little sister. Now she is 7 (it must be a 7 year itch), the little sister who is 3 1/2 is laying claim to it. It is making rounds with each of them hiding in different places. I still had the leftover yarn, so decided to make another for them. Win Win situation.
They are both excited about the sisters just like themselves.

Fun stuff !

April 13, 2019: Little sister is here minus the eyes. Onto getting some new eyes tomorrow. Same yarn, same pattern, same size hook (different brand) and the size has come out different. First one was made 6 years ago. My stitches are tighter this time around. Less stuffing too.
Just embroidered yarn eyes. Weather was horrendous to go buy buttons.

April 25, 2019: Did not make the tail, as the kids just use it to twirl the toy. Well it got noticed. The story now is that Elphy has to grow up, eat proper food to grow the tail ;).
