Plushie Post- Unicorn

WAAAAAAAY long ago when the dinosaurs roamed the earth (last summer) i made my first plushie. i wasn't sure what to make, so i took a suggestion from a friend.

HULA.

UNICORN.

HELL YES.

yes i know the stitching is terrible and my room is also terrible, but that's not the point.

other stuff: - both his arms are sewn in different directions (see the picture...)
                   - he has a mane on the back of his head
                   - in his horn is a badly twisted paper clip
                   - i didn't hand sew a single stitch (and that's probably a bad thing)
                   - he's stuffed with bits of fleece instead of poly-fil... canibalism??
                   - would he be a hulacorn? hmmmn...
                   - initially, he was about an inch taller, but that that made him too skinny, so i chopped an inch off of where the skirt was going to be, so now he looks sufficiently chubbier :)

and plus, what do you guys think, should i post things i think are fails or should i stick to things i'm proud of? i'm leaning towards not posting fails, because it would just create clutter, but i'm not sure. if anyone sees this and has an idea, comment please!

thanks for reading!
