Although my husband and I don't have any children, I love sewing plushies for family and friends kids. It always gives me great pleasure to see these stuffed animals years later looking all raggedy and well loved. I designed and made these fox pillows for family in Norway. I'd like to think that they've been taken out into the woods on walks by now.
