Making stuffed animals is the equivalent of comfort food. I enjoy shaping the bodies with my lap full of muslin and string and polyfil. When I have an approximate shape I pull out my laundy basket of scraps and embroidery thread and haphazardly stitch on little pieces. For the record, I almost never watch TV because there is always something I'd rather be doing, but if I have an animal to work on, I watch reruns of Six Feet Under on Monday nights and stitch away.
