My boyfriend thinks he's the coolest!! THANK YOU JENAVI!!! She made me Apple Boy for the "pay it forward."
You have inspired to me to make more toys out of felt.
I had a blast making Cyn and just getting your present makes me want to do MORE!! I have found another thing to make my friend for Christmas!! Woot!! Now let's see if I can cut out a cute tooth....

Also, I had to go to UPS to pick up my package that I ordered from Joanns. It has more supplies to make the rest of my gifts. Anyways, Jaime and I hit up a goodwill on the way there and I found the cutest thing!!

His name is Cheburashka. According to Wikipedia, he's a character from a kids book in Russia. The story goes, Cheburashka is from a tropical forest. He sneaks over to a crate of oranges, eats them and falls asleep. The shop owner who gets him gives him that name because he "tumbles down." He's so numb from being in the crate that long, he just falls off the table, lands on the chair but falls from there, and hits the floor.

I found a yellow box, sitting on the shelf. I open it to see the top of the crate. I pull it out of the box and see orange sticker on it. I open it to see the doll laying on straw with plastic oranges. I had to buy him. He reminded me of Mogwai and Monchichi's.

I looked up the info online and youtube had clips of the show. I also read that the character is popular in Japan as well. I found Japanese dubbed clips too.

I get to UPS and they told me my package was on the truck again. I had called to tell them I would pick it up today but the lady punched into the computer to re deliver it. They promised me they would have it for me tomorrow. WASTE OF MY TIME!! I could be doing melt beads right now!!
