Blog A

Little old Teddy

His name is Teddy ... just Teddy. I made him in honour of my childhood ted, whom I loved and cherished and spent years and years wondering why he had no fur. Now I know - the fur disappeared from all the loving he had from me. I kept him until after my children were born and have absolutely no recollection of how he disappeared from my life. I know I would never have given him away or thrown him away and my girls never played with him. Perhaps he slipped away to Teddyland??

Minky

Minky is my Easter Bunny. Her mohair and ear and footpad fabric came from Australia and her design is a new experiment. I need to do some serious tweaking with this pattern, but overall in the "flesh" she is a little darling even if she is a little melancholy at times. I'm sure when she has collected her Easter eggs she'll be much happier.
