Standard Deviation stuffed plushie

Where have I seen a model of the Standard Deviation curve made into some kind of stuffed plushie? They were being made and sold online.
It may have been on AskMefi that I once clicked a link that showed unusual things for sale---
All I can remember is that someone had made a Standard Deviation curve a la stuffed-animal. Yes, it was a stuffed Standard Deviation curve... It was also quite tiny and-- if memory serves-- it had velcro (?).
My google search terms are getting negative results. I need to get this!

Best answer: It was on Etsy. I think it might have been this seller.

She's the best, too. I have a normal distribution coffee jacket from her that's amazing, and her service is top.

I second rumposinc's endorsement; I bought a plushie as a gift and she was super accommodating and prompt. Yay!

Just as a side note, the reason you were getting wrong results might be that you were using the wrong term. Standard deviation is not the name of the curve; the curve you were looking for is the normal distribution (sometimes referred to as a bell curve when describing its shape). The standard deviation is one of its parameters, but curves that are not normal also have standard deviations.
