Rosita the Monster

Bunny's been a bit fixated on monsters in her play lately.  I would like to keep monsters a positive thing for her, so this morning I decided to whip up this little girl.

I drew the shape on printer paper (making the arms, fingers, and legs wider than I thought I'd need) and then let Bunny decide on her facial features.  I appliqued them with a zig zag stitch on my sewing machine, then sewed the body parts together, turned the whole thing right side out, stuffed it, and closed the hole with a baseball stitch.  Bunny loves her.  She's currently "braiding" her hair.  Sweet! 

Now if I could just have as much motivation when it comes to my housework...
