How to call these?

As you can see, i'm really into this whole embroidery thing lately. I like how my designs come out as embroidered projects. So i made the squirrel last week and now i made some more. There are two different owls and the bird from my layout that i also used on the embroidered brooch, but here it's bigger. I think i like this bigger version a bit better.
And then there are two versions of the deer i used as appliques on mini art, originally from the design for a birth announcement card a while back. Wouldn't these work perfect in a nursery or as baby shower gifts? Or us grownups that still are kids at heart and love all things cute.
I firmly stuffed them all with fiberfill (i hate it when things are not stuffed enough. My mantra is stuff, stuff and stuff some more) and i gave them all flat bottoms so they can stand up straight with no problems.
All shapes and thus sizes, differ some, but they are approximately 5" wide and high. Some a bit wider, some less, some a bit higher, some a bit less. Oh, i'm so articulate in describing things. ha.
Ok, so help me out here. How to call these. They are embroideries on felt. Stuffed. Embroidery art? Plushies? Softies? i'm not sure, they are not real toy items, more for display, although you could cuddle them. Anyone with a good idea? Please share your (witty) brainwaves!
EDIT: So i posted the top two photos on the Craftster forum to get some more suggestions. What you think about Embroidered Soft Sculptures?

Hi Ismoyo!!! So nice this last stuff of yours...
We´re going to NYC next month and we want to take our things to some shops there... Could you please tell us if you know anyone they can fit in? or any neighbourhood in particular to search around?
I really like these! What about 3D embroidery? ;)
So very darling...
Hey, my Madrid friend! I'll email you about areas of shops that you could contact for consignment and such!
3D Embroidery.. Sounds nice. But shouldn't the embroidery itself be 3D then? I'm thinking of maybe put a post up on the Craftster forum too to get some input!
So far, happy you all like them!
:) somehow the words 'comfort buddies' come to mind. My fav are the deers, they are beautiful!
