someone to watch over me

my friend lyla recently gave me a special gift, my very own cotton monster! this cute little guy was hand crafted by baltimore fiber artist jennifer strunge. her construction is amazing and her creativity seems limitless. it is such an inspirational and thoughtful present. pretty sweet gift sense especially considering that lyla is less than a year old. she's quite a baby.

my new friend has found a happy home amid the bobbins and threads of the sewing area. he'll join the neighboring squirrel figurines and smurfs as part of my good luck totem. i've not yet settled on a name but i'm thinking rockwell (as in somebody's watching me)
