I made a Kangaroo for a friend's little girl in Australia but it's tail so big and so large, after stuffing it all and making baby, looked like an aeroplane in it's pouch. It wouldn't go in the box.? So had too pack the tail (Tale) sepearate and send it on. Skippy was 15 inches tall, and takes 2 weeks to make.So I enclosed instructions to sew tail on when it got to Australia, her Mother Sarah received it, and after she had sewn tail on with strong thread and long bodkin Jane took it to her bedroom screaming with de-light. Sarah had sewn the tail (tale) on with a large bodkin and the strong thread I packed in the parcel. Jane was bouncing Skippy up and down, and tired herself out, her mum had said "now lay down your head and sleep" and put the light of. But naughty Jane crept out of bed and got Skippy and put him on high chair to face looking out the window keeping her safe. Next day after breakfast she washed and got ready for pic-nic all going Jane took Skippy with them he only just fitted in the car with all of them, they all loved Skippy the Kangaroo. One friend that had joined the pic-nic by bike said where did it come from Jane said "one of mummie's friend's makes them in england and skipped across all the miles across plane and sea, well let her think that way anyway. Jane re-called it "Shoosh-shoosh" as the baby in the pouch was drifting of to sleep treated it as real one and had "to be fed she said". They all had a wonderful day. The twist is ! I never know if it got to the address in Australia so maybe Skippy still hopping around? comments!
