I received a phone call today, just a little past noon and I got the great news that our friends finally had their baby! Yay! This baby was due on the 8th, but he wanted to stay in a little longer. He was SOOOOO CUTE!!! And no, his name was not Stanley, but this little guy is . . . . . .
Meet Stanley the Stegosaurus.

True story. When I got the phone call about the new arrival of the new baby, I suddenly had the urge to drop what I was doing and make something. I waited until my daughter was napping and my son and husband were off having some guy time and I pulled out some paper and I started to sketch out a little dinosaur.

Two hours later I had Stanley. I think he turned out well for a first shot.

He needs a bit of improvement, but new little one will (eventually) like holding him and pulling on his tail, because, of course, he is a friendly dinosaur!

so cute, it’ll fit right in!
I don’t suppose you’d consider posting a pattern? I’ve been trying to make a dino for my little girl for ages now but I am very bad at sewing and I can’t work out how to do the gusset.
