I talked about how I found this giant squid plushie someone made and since then, I've really liked the idea of having my very own tentacled plushie! I have a stuffed manatee named Mr. George and I thought it would be a nice companion for him.

Well, my santa turned out to be into sewing, found the plushie I was talking about, complete with pattern, and asked if she could try her hand at making one for me.

OMG AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

After a couple of weeks, he finally arrived! I brought out Mr. George to meet his new buddy. And OMG, he's AMAZING!! Lookit the details on his freakin' tentacles! OMG! Soft, cuddly, scares the cats...he's perfect!!

I'm still trying to settle on a name. I think it might be Mr. Squiggles, but I'd love suggestions!

THANK YOU! This was one of those dreams I forgot I had, that you have happily fulfilled for me. I love it so much!

I need to figure out a cat safe part of the apartment for him to call home now. But he's now a precious part of the family.

Please give my santa all the upvotes and compliments. This is above and beyond amazing.
