Please notice the magical blue ever so high tech water collection receptacle behind Target on the bed! Now, I am sure that you are thinking "Why in the world would she name her Chipmunk Target!" Well my friends, the answer is simple - I did not have any fiber-fill or synthetic stuffing material on hand, so I made do with what I had sitting next to me and stuffed the little sucker with an ever so handy Target bag! Now that certainly qualifies for the "Reuse, Reduce, Recycle" challenge! :-) I've left his bottom off so I can stuff him properly at a later point in time!
I think that the apartment folks are avoiding me this morning....must have known after the rains that I would be calling back! As they oh so conveniently enough do not have an answering machine, I sent them an ever so nice e-mail...honest...I was nice!!! I did mention that I preferred not to sleep with my garbage can and that I was highly unpleased to find a wet bed when I got home last night! Slight understatement, but honey catches bees better than vinegar!

Absolutely fabulous!!!!
Oh I like him alot!!!! I really must try this animal making bit!
Kimberly the doily pattern is in an old magazine I have, not sure its even available in reprints, its Crochet Fantasy number 127 November 1998. The name of the doily pattern is: "All That Glitters".
Oh, he is so cute!!!
OMG - Target is the best! I love him! Perhaps you should leave him crinkly-sounding and leave the stuffing as is.
Sorry to hear about your drip woes. I hope that the landlords get your leak fixed NOW!
Thanks for the comments everyone! The more I think about him as Target the more I start to think of what other bags I have....perhaps do an evil version and stuff with a Walmart bag for a 'Wally'
LOL what a cutsie little chipmunk. Good job
"Wally" should be the skunk.
Very Darling! You did a great job! You silly and resourcefull girl for stuffing him will Targe bags! LOL
