Oscar, Eater of Brownies

This is Oscar. He's just such a sweetheart....

This little guy was a labor of...fury, as I recall. And rage. Lots, lots, lots of rage. His original face and shape were so disheartening that if I had had enough of the base material, the yellow fleece, I would have taken the head and arms and scrapped the body.

This not being the case, however, I instead opted to perform major plastic surgery, adding a smile, adjusting the drape of the arms, re-distributing stuffing, and taking in his saddlebag hips.

I'm very happy with the results here, although I wish I had done something a little different with the quilting on his tummy. This is the only recent one that my sister-in-law has liked, though, and my mother went crazy over him.

...

He's fast becoming one of my favorites.

Next time,

(or the time after)

We'll go through the backlog and show you the story so far. It's kind of interesting.

In the meantime, here's some more pics of Oscar:








Namaste.
