Christmas penguin
A little penguin, bundled up for the winter weather. (Which we're NOT getting here, it's 55 outside. I'm not complaining, but a little snow would be nice...) Accessorized with handmade hat and scarf. From this book:
More info about this book here, it's the second entry in the table, "Bunnies."
More to come, there are a bunch cut and ready to be sewn. Yes, they're Christmas presents, and I know it's a little late to still be sewing Christmas presents. But if we don't see people to give them their presents until next week, I think I'm still OK.
Oh, the penguin is just too cute!!
* Merry Christmas *

Merry Christmas!! What a sweet little fellow. And for the record, I take advantage of the full 12 days of Christmas-the 12th is on Jan.6, which is when, by tradition, the wise men came with gifts. So in a way, the first gifts were given 12 days after the birth. I'm not very religious, but I like the way it spreads out the season (and allows me not to rush too much before Dec.25!) I hope your lingering cold has gone and that you are having a good Christmas.

Hi, Amanda.
Glad to hear that you had a great Christmas.
It's so funny that you collect Japanese handmade books which I've never heard of even though I live in JAPAN!!

It's cold here today, in the U.K, so I can identify with this little sweetie. : )
