Something to smirk about

For Christmas the girls in the family over here gave me a book on making softies. So finding myself with time on my hands, I got down to some toy crafting again. I must admit that having a pattern to follow makes it so much easier and quicker than creating one by trial and error yourself.

Today I finished making a "Smirky". I used the fabric I had on hand, and it kind of stretched a bit funny so it looks a little different to the picture, but I still feel I have something to smirk about.
He is the first "baby safe" toy I've made that doesn't have buttons or goggly eyes and I think he is pretty cute.

If you like him, you will find his pattern by Sandra Monet (and many more patterns by other great crafty people) in this book:
 

Happy crafting!
