A soft toy which I really enjoy making is the little Teddy Bear. I was asked for a Teddy in a bright bold colour (like Red, Green or Blue) rather than the softer colours I used before. The bear would be going to a little boy. I loved the Navy I found in the bottom...

Charlotte’s Bunny
I do love making soft toys. I find such pleasure in making them: watching personalities appear and once the final stitch is made – the joy of seeing the completed toy come to life. I made this *Bunny for baby Charlotte who recently found her way to this world and brought her parents so many...
Rika’s Rose *Bunny
I’m always amazed that despite using the pattern I wrote down for myself to reproduce another, every bunny I’ve made is completely different when compared to the one before. Then again, why shouldn’t they be different? They’ve all had different start dates; have been made with a different purpose; invariably all have different colouring and...

Blueberry Ellie
Introducing the sweet little Blueberry Ellie. She has a very sweet nature about her. Initially she had a few butterflies on her nose, but they were distracting her too much and so they were shooed away. One little butterfly however floated about and is dancing with her tail! Handmade with love and I’m assured is going to...
