ground control to major tom


elmo is about to become an uncle for the first time, so we are sending this cosmonaut over to london, all wrapped up in a kitschy australiana teatowel i picked up at the vic market. the pattern comes from the softies book and was a breeze to make.

we had been to see the Blackeyed Susans at the Forum that afternoon, so i spent a few hours listening to old susies ceedees while making Cosmo. i think this is why his smile looks so sly, like he knows something we dont know. yet.

one down; three more toys for three new bubs due before the year is out.
back to the sewing machine...

thank you for your kind words, kate! i highly recommend getting into softie making if you find some time, it's so much fun turning them inside out and having a little personality pop out!

ps: we have just heard that cosmo has landed safely in london - hurray =)
