Creepy Creatures Can Be Cute

Melissa Sue Stanley knits and sews plush creatures in her hometown of Chicago. Some are simply cute, while others have more of an edge.

I do enjoy the look of this critter which is named The Tootsie Monster (there is another white tootsie monster listed on her etsy account).

Be sure to take a look through her Soft Sculpture gallery. I especially like "the little hill that couldn't keep still".
