Made this woodpecker for a 1.5 year old who adores them 🐦
Reminded me of my first gift, a bunny, to an under 2 back in November, the ears and face gone in under an hour.. 😂
Made many since, safe to say the sewing has improved
Still intact, according to the family 🥰

Made these little ones as a bday gift, with a special request, a tiny silver ball in his hand 🩶
The whole family was going to see The Mandalorian & Grogu together and it's so cute when they light up recognising their favourite characters in crochet form 🥰

This 1993 painting, by artist Yukihiko Kurihara. Titled Spring Evening Takizakura, the painting depicts the legendary Miharu Takizakura, an ancient, millennium-old weeping cherry tree located in Fukushima Prefecture, widely revered as one of Japan's most spectacular natural treasures.
