While perusing the crafty blogs after the birth of Harriet I saw THIS lion pillow on Anna Maria Horner's blog and I absolutely HAD to have it. I needed it. So what is a crafty mama to do - but shamefully copy. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery - right?
It makes me feel better that a I've seen a few other mamas making crocheted lion pillows too!

Here is my version -
I hadn't crocheted in ages (okay - since college) but found that my fingers remembered what to do. So I ran out and got some yarn and crocheted away. I think I like my version a bit better - he looks like a very friendly lion.
I chain stitched the facial features and sewed them on with a tapestry needle. It was fun working with some yarn for a change. I still miss my sewing - but I found that crocheting is an easy project to pick up and put down quickly - a necessity with two little ones around.
He's gotten some good kisses from Lucy!
I can't resist posting a few one-month photos of our little Harriet! She's been a wonderful baby!
This is her signature frown.
