I just got a message from you on my Ravelry account and noticed you had some finger puppets on your blog! So I had to come check them out! These are adorable and they DO totally resemble those little Fisher Price people! The hair bun totally cracked me up because I remember that so well. Nice job with them! I love finger puppets. Which is kind of funny because I don't really like full-sized puppets much and ventriloquist dummies terrify me! 0.0
