A friend of mine is due, any day now, to have a baby. She has a great affinity for Invader Zim and a really quirky sense of humor. She doesn't seem like someone who'd be likely to be content with run of the mill toys and garments for babies. I decided I had to come up with something that no one else would be able to get her.
So I found some green Calmer, and some left over black cotton yarn. I picked up a little bit of felt and I went to town.
Thus was born a little Gir.
And for scale, here he is in front of some knitting needles.
I know he's not a perfect match but I have to admit to being happy with him nonetheless. He'll be popped in the mail tomorrow to go to his new home.
"Taquitos!"
Ha ha ha... I LOVE Invader Zim and I think your Gir is spot on. Your friend will love it.
Not familiar with Invader Zim, but Gir is teh cute!
All he needs is a cupcake! So cute!

Okay, another amazing thing you made that I am crazy about! Too fun!

I have to say, your Gir is awesome. Can't believe you made that up! Your friend will love it.

i've heard of invader zim, but no clue what it is. however, that thing is so dorky it's darling! baby will love it! (just make sure everything is very FIRMLY attached (prefferably with dental floss, it doens't break like thread) so baby doesn't detach bits.
