There are 85 yo-yo's in him, and they took forever. I told my husband not to volunteer me to make one for anyone else, unless they want to pay about 300 bucks. You were also supposed to use nearly a yard of five different fabrics, but I had five yards of lightweight desert camo, so I used that. Now for the real test on the 26th, when Liam opens the present. Will he like it?

Cute especially with the long tail. We used to make dolls like that when we were kids and they do take for ever! I think he'll love it just the same and ya never know he might still have it when he grows up too. Huggies, Fay
