A Yellow Fellow


People think I'm a cheerful fellow
just because I'm head to toe yellow;
but it is true and I must tell
that I have a temper and am moody as hell!


Featured: a grumpy felt fellow made from a drawing by my niece

I love that you made this from your niece's drawing! I have done this in the past for kids as well ... always a thrill for them to see their drawings come to life! Will you post a photo of the original drawing? I'd love to see that ;)

What fun to make a drawing "come to life!" I could see that Yellow Fellow in a baby's hands, but the hair would get pulled out or sucked off. Cute!
