Two unlikely friends

A few of our friends have had babies in the last little while. The last one, Hugo, arrived just before the end of the year. And since January was a pretty cold month here in Canada, I chose to make a cuddly polar bear for him. Just after he was done, he seemed somehow naked to me though and almost looked like he was freezing. So he got a big, cozy scarf to keep him warm. Almost as good as a blanket, eh?! 😉

And when I inquired about his older brother Amaël’s preferences, I found out that he loves cows. I didn’t want to make another stuffed animal for the three year old, but struggled with other ideas at first. I suppose it’s just because I’m more familiar with my own boys’ favorites such as dinosaurs and lions…

In the end I went for a zipper pouch. Not sure if Amaël is actually going to use it for crayons but I hope he’ll find some treasures to put in the cow’s belly!

Congratulations again to the whole family! 💛
