crocheting a starfish

I started crocheting the starfish for my sea-world collection... orange yarn and pillow stuffing is all im gonna use... and probably some white felt fabric for the eyes...
no specific pattern again...i started with the "legs"...five in total...so i just crocheted five tubes. the idea is very simple....i chained 2 and then made a few single crochet stiches in the first chain, slip stiched and closed into a circle and then carried on doing sc around and around increasing randomly when i thought i should. in the end all 5 "legs" look almost the same although i did no counting at all !
i stuffed them with my pillow stuffing and i think they look like little carrots....the next step is the tricky one...i'm gonna crochet them together to form the body of my starfish...but it'll have to wait till tomorrow cause i run out of orange yarn....silly me! so drop by tomorrow - if you like- to see how it went...
