What is Clover?

What, or who, is Clover?  Is she a pocket friend, or an ornament?  I’m not sure.  But she’s stuffed with brown rice, and about an inch in diameter.  Small, but the rice gives her some weight.  My previous attempt was a flannel sleepy face, but the flannel didn’t hold it’s shape as well, and looked quite wonky after I stitched it right sides together and inverted it.  

Clover has issues too, you can see her crooked edge seaming.  So I guess I still need some practice.  I’m wondering if I could just felt the edges closed since I’m using wool felt?  But I don’t have any felting needles.  Maybe I’ll have to make some!
