Ehehehehehehe! IT'S ALIVE!!!!
My thing yesterday was the COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER MADE. It's a little green teddy bear, made from the wool left over from my viking under-dress. She is, predictably, hand stitched and stuffed with wool from my friend Lisa's sheep, Rudy and Peaches. Those things are cool, but they're not the coolest part.
The bear... She talks... I got a custom voice box from a doll making company and did a recording of my voice. So when you squeeze her she says, "WOULD YOU STOP TOUCHING ME?!" in the most exasperated tone I could manage.
I will admit now that I giggled maniacly the entire time I was putting her together, because the process of attaching her arms and legs jostled the talky button quite a few times, and she complained her way through the entire "ordeal."
Sorry, there aren't any pictures of her all in one piece yet, but I decided to stay home from work today because my annoying cough kept me awake all night last night... So you can have pictures of the finished bear tomorrow.
This morning, I managed to take her by the UPS Store and get her mailed to the friend for whom she was made... It's hard coming up with Valentine's Day presents for male friends that are JUST FRIENDS, but I think she'll do quite nicely... I can already hear Steve snickering as he uses his new toy to torment his relatives, friends, and random small children.

I have the same problem with VD and male friends that are JUST FRIENDS. Particularly the ones who are unhappily single. "Your really really attached female friend who is never on this earth going to date you or at least not without several deaths of people you actually like involved thinks you are awesome! Um, yay! So, uh, have a good one!"

I also want to do a, "Now show me on the doll where the bad man touched you... And again... Oh, yeah... Again..." bear, but I thought it would be a little much for my friend who is a social worker...
YOU on the other hand, deserve EXACTLY such a bear...

That is ridiculously awesome. I know exactly who would love one and now I want to make one. What did you use for your pattern? I ask because I have absolutely NO experience sewing stuffed animals. And can you get voices boxes that record more than one thing or possibly fit in several? Although multiple voices at once would be disconcerting...
