It's been ages since I've had a  chance to post any amigurumi, though I've been knitting like mad, as  always.  Last night I was thinking about one that I made for my  mum-in-law's birthday last year, and just really had the urge to put him  up, soooo....
 Introducing Pudgie in Pajamas Peep 
 and  his dear friend, Pookie Bear Peep
 Pudgie  in PJ's always giggles when you tickle his tummy... but the original  has a different reaction!  heh heh  
 
Pudge is our adored giant  cat.  We're all a bit obsessed with him, and my Mum in law treats him  like a grandchild ('cause he IS, of course!  heh heh), so I figured  she'd enjoy getting her very own Pudge to cuddle with.  :o)

Pudgie and Pookie are very best friends and love to  be together. 
    
 
They love to cuddle and giggle and nap, and they love a nice  cozy lap to sit in.
  
 
   They are so happy, living with their GrandMaw, and they thought that  the trip to Scotland was very exciting!   (we didn't send them till  Christmas, though because of the mail strike in the UK - we didn't want  to take any chances!!)
 They enjoy having a nice dish of tuna and  box of choco, and a nice bowl of honey, and having lovely bedtime  stories read to them.
 
Pookie  gets annoyed when you tweak his ear.  Oops!    
 
 I made Pudgie  freehand (as usual) and didn't make any notes, so I have no pattern  plans for him.  I am hoping though, that at some point I can get up the  energy to share the simple slip stitch technique I used to make his head  all in one piece (including ears).  I do hate sewing on all those bits  and pieces!
  
The  inspiration for Pudgie in Pajamas was  this totally adorable Tabitha  kitty design by Debi Birkin.  
   
  Isn't she adorable?  If you want one of your very own, Debi has a   pattern for Tabitha here:

  I'm hoping to post her other birthday peep, Kathleen Bunny, soon!  I  fell in love with Pudgie in PJs and Kathleen Bunny, who are larger than  my usual wee peeps (they were made for cuddling), and it was hard to  send them so far away, but their grandmaw loves them, so it's all good!   :o)
