Hey, Penelope!: A DIY Ragdoll

Let me introduce you to my new friend, Penelope.  She likes the color pink.  Her favorite animal is a cassowary (that's a colorful bird, just in case you didn't know that!).  Her favorite hobbies are building sandcastles and swimming in the ocean with whale sharks.  She likes to collect roly polies, worms, and seashells.  She set a world record for collecting 101,659 bugs in one day!
In my imagination, she is real and she really does all these things.  I made her with pieces of fabric, fabric pens, thread, and stuffing.  On a white fabric, I drew her face and her torso.  I picked out colorful fabric for the arms, legs, and back.  My mom sewed the doll together and I stuffed her.
This is what it looked like before we started sewing.  My brother drew a soldier and my mom made a little girl.
My mom's doll is not done because we ran out of stuffing.  I will post a photo of hers later.

Penelope says bye.  She's traveling to Machu Picchu!

    Good job Kiki. Your mom's doll looks like you. I also love Samani's doll.
    Love always,

    The soldier looks like he's sad. Do you know why?

      I don't know why. Ask Samani. Maybe it's because his arms
      are too small for his body. Isn't that funny?
