The hand-made duck

It was a great pleasure when I got it. I know it is just a figure made from plush material, and cotton. But for me receiving it was a kind of showing her love. I am about my cousin who has always had a handicraft. The object she made was a duck. A yellow, medium size, plush duck. It is not just another thing I can put on my shelves or on top of my chest but a present that I was waiting for for a long time.
It was a nice expectation, I mean I was really curious how a hand-made duck looks like. She created it to be a lifelike one and you can mistake it for one that was produced in a toy factory, due to its well-designed feature.
While she was bringing it into existence she was thinking of me. And this is what I appreciate very much and the other important thing is that she made my duck by her hands.
Till I got the duck, it was always a theme to discuss during our msn conversation. We use the internet to talk to each other because she lives far from my town, Keszthely therefore we could not express our love for each other. We meet rarely and there was no real relationship between us.
But this little object made us to think about each other more often.

Cute duck. I have a rubber one specially designed for bathing, I got him from one of my best friends. It's not soft like this one, but we have good times together ;)

You have got a very nice duck. Some years before my sister got a book about seaming and I saw a dog in it and ask her to make me it. Finally, when it's born it was quite different than the other in the book, but I love it very much. This is my little blue-white dog.
