Meet Cocoa she loves megan . I made this for my daughter in law megan shhhh dont tell her it for christmas.
I had fun making him i got the pattern here. My Grand daughter Katelynn made the necklace it was her idea
and my 4 year old said Grandma he needs a hat lol. The only thing i didnt like was that the stuffing showed alot
on the legs and arms so i told a freind of mine and she mention that they sell colored stuffing like brown and black
so i learned something new today so for my future amirgurumi i can use color stuffing.. Christmas around the corner so im so busy trying to get my gifts finished so i want to wish you a happy thanksgiving and make sure you dont eat to much heheheh hugs kat
