Last night, my brother and his wife had their first baby, and so now I am an auntie by blood (as well as all the times I'm an auntie by friendship with the parents!).
He is very cute, not so little and has very good lungs!
I crocheted him a lion:
What a super little lion. Congratulations Hanne! . In message , Hanne in DK writes
Congratulations on becoming a real life auntie, it feels good doesn't it? The lion is so cuddly.
Happy BIRTHday, Aunt Di. Love that sweet baby for all of us. Polly
Congratulations to the whole family! And that's a great lion.

Congratulations!!!! I love being an Auntie and a Great-Auntie!! Now if I could just convince my kids to make me a Nana!!!!
Me too Amy. There are only 4 legged, hairy, furry and feathered here. Oh, and a snake.
Hug them up and smoosh them around a bit, then pat them into shape and turn your dryer to no heat and tumble them for awhile. It works even better if you have dryer balls. It is not a cure all, but it does help even the fluff out some.

I stuffed him pretty hard. The yarn is cotton (because I wanted him to be easily washable, and this is what I could get here in decent colours), and it sticks to its shape. I was concerned that he would be too hard, but the big parts have been done for a couple of months and he has relaxed over that time. Also, I handwashed him and dried him on the radiator, and that softened him a little bit more. He is still pretty firm though. Only time will tell how his shape holds up.
