Bobs Emo Donkey Pillow

Post by Angel »

Well with my Stitcher's sampler out of the way, it's time to get cracking on my Christmas stitchs. Well I decided to actually stitch my little sister a preasent. A present that is now known as Bobs Emo Donkey Pillow. A name I quite like and am not changing :P Here's why:
My sisters nickname is Bob.
She is in love with the colour purple and a certain purple Donkey who only ever seems to talk about how the world hates him, why him, everything's so depressive...He could actually give Marvin the Robot a run for his money, but isn't half as funny! As such I long ago daubbed him the emo Donkey, because let's face it, all he needs is a razor blade and he'd fit in perfectly with them.
And it's going to be a pillow.

So Bobs Emo Donkey Pillow it is and always will be.

Here is the pattern I'm working from:

Well...I'm making up half of the colours as I go, seeing as my Anchor stash isn't all that big. Still, with it being mostly solid colours, it's pretty easy to change things a little.

And here is my progress thus far:

That's going to be a great present -- and I'm glad Emo Donkey has some butterflies to cheer him up :-)

I don't get it you know. He has some great friends, lives in a beautiful wood and if he'd shut up and smile would actually be adorable. So why the emo? Then again, I don't understand emo humans either. I think the butterflies are wasted on him, but they'll cheer Bob up after staring at his gloomy face :P

I love pictures of him smiling, but they're few and far between.

hehe It's a great name ^_^ I'm also going to personalize it. At the top I'm going to put lil miss which has been her screen name for well over ten years. At the bottom I'm either going to put Samantha or Bob Her real name is Samantha.
