Memories ... Yugoslavia

[a_boleyn]

A couple of years ago, I had my nephew scan in some old pictures from Yugoslavia.

This is me at age ... no idea to be honest.

The picture was taken in a photography studio. The stuffed toy wasn't  mine. Which made me sad when I heard.

Great photo. Leaving the stuffed toy sadly behind bc it wasn’t yours, such a childhood rite of passage!

I don't remember HAVING a stuffy as a kid.

We came to Canada via Germany when I was 7 so I figured I couldn't/wouldn't have brought anything like that in the suitcases my mom packed but I don't have a memory of one at all.

My cousin had a few that I loved and always wanted for my own. I would borrow them to play with for a week at a time. My favourite was named "horsey spider" and it was indeed a spider!

I don't know what kind of stuffy I'd like. When my SIL donated my nephew's old toys, I appropriated one of them cause it appealed to me. A penguin which he called "Pengy". :)

Years later ... I made myself a stuffed bunny using a Joanne Fabrics pattern. Never gave her a name though. :)

Is that the bunny with the straw hat, and long soft ears? She's a cutie!

Yes. Thank you. I hadn't sewed in over 20 yrs (since high school home ec classes) when I made it so I was quite proud of myself. :)

You should be, she's adorable. And deserving of a name! :-)

LOL ... I'm not good with names. :)

She looks like a Bonnie to me... Bonnie Bunny :-)

Nice name.
