Because there's no such thing as too much cheese. Unrolling the braciole of consciousness; shaping the meatball of life. Because everything is funny; you just need to view it from the proper angle. Good for cats. Made in Poland. Because everything is like a hat. You know how those gorillas can be... Very unforgiving.

I really enjoyed the Bee song and the little movie. . .so cute!
Well. . .a trip to WallyWorld was necessary to find the material for Sonic. . .but I was able to find bright blue for the body, flesh tan for the arms and face and tummy, red for the shoes and white fuzzy for the accents on the face, spats, gloves and socks. . .all in the same weight material plus a teddy bear costume that I will cut out and re-design. . .it looks as though Cookie might be a little long-legged for last year's costume, so should I make the pant legs a bit long? You can always 'slouch' them a bit under the white socks Sonic wears. . .if all goes well, you won't need to buy him the white socks or the gloves. . .the pattern has spats to go over his shoes and I will just add white slouch "socks" to the top cuff. . .and it also has mittens. . .they will be white with the big roll on the cuff if Cookie can stand to have mitten paws rather than fingers. . . I am sorry that the nap isn't a bit more fuzzy, but it is the best I could do without having a bit of a miss-match in fabric weight which is doubly hard to sew. I am going to stuff the what-ever-you-call his appendages on his shoulders, back and tail with fiber fill. . .if he were older I would make armature with wire so that he could control them, but that might be too much for a little Sonic and maybe even for an old woman like me. . .the eyebrow ridge looks like I might have to hand sew it on as well as the big white eyes and flesh colored cheeks, but that isn't a problem. You will have to cut out the holes for his eyes and nose and mouth since I can't guess where they will be.
