Favorite Color Plush Swap

The Needle occasionally hosts a plush swap. It works sort of like Secret Santa; those who participate receive the name of a swap partner for whom to make a plush. This swap's them was your partner's favorite color. Eva of Effunia received my name and sent me this fantastic plush:

His name is Sky, and he came with a cute note explaining that "he's a very friendly creature who likes to save snails and earthworms when he sees them on his path. And he loves nothing more than sticking up his little nose in the air and taking in his surroundings. He makes a loyal friend."

Indeed he does; he's already cozied up to San, the alpha dog in my little pack:

San looks slightly nervous about her new friend, but I adore him. Check out Effunia's blog, Etsy shop, and Flickr. She makes fantastic plushies!

I'll blog about what I sent to David Wolk (aka Mr. Crammed of Cranky Yellow in St. Louis) when I know he's received it. I don't want to ruin the surprise!
