Mr. Scrappy-Pants!

This is Mr. Scrappy-Pants...He is fleece and flannel and very squishy! It's getting to be that time of year again when all the cozy fabrics come out of the closet and get made into wonderful, scrumptious things.

Mr. Scrappy-Pants even has a little scrappy pocket to hold his treats in...

And long arms for hugging! He will be finding a new home with the Toy Society if I can pry him from my kids arms...and then mine!

That's always the hardest part!

**************** UPDATE *************

MR. SCRAPPY-PANTS IS MISSING!

When my children returned home from school today they spied Mr. Scrappy-Pants on the shelf. My daughter asked if I was going to stick him in a plastic bag and give him away. When I told her I was giving him to the Toy Society, she ran upstairs with him under her arm yelling "Don't Worry Mr. Scrappy-Pants, I'll save you, and hide you so Mom can't find you".

Hmmmm...He is nowhere to be seen!

Who Stole A Cookie From the Cookie Jar?

I caught this little guys nose in the cookie jar!



This is Hedgie. He is so fleecie soft and squishy!

Tomorrow I will be setting him free out into the big wide world to find a new home (hopefully), but until then I will hug and squish and feed him sweet Orange Sugar Blossoms.

Oh, you want some too... Here's the recipe...Enjoy!

Spreading the Wacky Robot Love

Check out how fun this is! I found this great pattern Create It! Wacky Creatures (McCall's M5826) to make with my girls. The cool thing about this pattern is that it came with two body types, interchangeable ears (3), arms (6), legs (4), and faces (9). You can create ANYTHING imaginable!

So, I thought I would try it out while the kids were at school...you know, just to see how things worked. I'm going for the robot look, and this is what I came up with!
