I made this aardvark for my friend Rebecca's son, who was turning a year old. I'm very pleased with how he turned out! I used a couple of materials from J Caroline Creative, and a pattern from Aardvark to Zebra, which you can find on the web here. You can read my whole review of the pattern on PatternReview.com. I attended the birthday party last weekend, but left before the presents were opened. Rebecca tells me the aardvark caused quite a sensation, though...a little girl was completely infatuated with it, and became very upset when she wasn't allowed to have it, screaming and crying and throwing a huge fit. Wasn't quite the reaction I was hoping for!
I love this!
Seriously you should sell these. Especially with all the moms getting rid of their plastic toys these days. Everyone's looking for safe cloth and wooden toys -- not toxic stuff from China.
I'm so impressed with your work, Kerry!
