Hi All
Hope everyone is alright.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture of the item I'm looking for. I saw it today whilst walking through a car park and the car with the item drove past with it visible in the back window.
I will do my best to describe it, but I might be wrong on some parts as it's been a few hours now and this is the first opportunity I've had to sit down and write/post about it.

Our story begins in England, UK...
The item I saw was either a 5-point star or a starfish.
It was a mixture of colours, like a tie-dye print.
It was a fairly large item and covered just under half of the back area of the car, the area under the rear window and behind the back seats.
After a quick search, I believe this area is known as 'parcel shelf' or a 'package shelf'?
A simple, smiling face was was stitched on in the middle of the star. If I remember correctly, the thread was all black, so solid black eyes and a thin black line for the mouth with those little lines each side...
Eyes like this 😃
Mouth shaped like this 🙂 but with the small, additional ( ) at each side of the mouth.
The item also had (I think gloved) hands attached to point 2 and point 5 of the star.
Unlike the gloves/hands that were attached straight on to points 2 and 5, the legs extended from points 3 and 4.
The legs were thin and flexible, like a rope but soft material. I believe the legs were a solid white or black colour and were not tie dyed like the main body, just one solid colour.
At the foot end of the legs were little shoes/trainers. They were infant sized shoes, something that a 3 - 5 year old might wear? I can't remember for sure what colour the shoes were.
The length of the item, from the tip/top point of the star shaped body/head to the sole of the shoes was, at a guess 16 - 18 inches or 40cm - 46cm.

I can't really say or describe anything else apart from what I saw in those few seconds as the car drove by and out of the car park.

Please feel free to ask any questions or for useful information I may have forgotten to write in this post.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
