I wasn't in the best frame of mind when I got home from work. So I decided to make a toy for a Toy Society Drop (#1179).
Flicking through my sketch book, I found this illustration, inspired by Llorie the bipolar cloud in the plush-o-rama book.
I didn't trace the sketch or anything, I just winged it... hence the clover-shaped hands! The cheeks & tear were an afterthought. It was therapeutic hand-stitching and stuffing the toy. And trying to do a drop-off without getting spotted is always exciting!
I left Lorretta attached to a tree outside the old bus depot markets (Canberra, Australia) around 5pm. When I passed by the tree again around 9pm she was still hanging there..!Related post: Free toy pattern: Lorretta

I really hope she's found a warm home by now. Thanks so much for my bag jen, a lovely surprise! Am blogging about it now.
I visited the spot this morning and she's till there after 2 nights... :o Glad you liked the bag :) Surprise mail is the best ^_^
How clever yet simple! I'm sure she'll find a good home soon. Just waiting for the right person to come along, I think.
Thanks Martta :) I'm happy to report that as of last night she has been picked up by somebody! Yay!
Yay!
I've made a pattern for this toy, I've linked it to the bottom of this post :)
