dandelion

One Spring day when I was about 4 or 5, my mom asked me what my favourite colour was. Thinking of all the pretty dandelions growing in our yard, I immediately said yellow. My favourite colour has been yellow ever since.

Imagine my surprise when my toy from the swap showed up today, so perfectly yellow and fuzzy, there was only one name to choose! Thanks so much to greenstar studio! As you can see, Dandelion has already settled in and made some friends.


I am definitely going to do this swap thing again. By the way, what's the fuzzy yarn you used? I love it!

Favorite Color Swap from Effunia

My swap arrived today! Well, actually two days ago, but I was unable to get to the post office to pick up the package until today--such torture! I was so excited about this package that I ripped it open on the way home. I was beyond thrilled to discover that Eva of Effunia (whose work I've admired for some time now) had sent me Sky the Rabbit!

Sky came with a cute note explaining that "he's a very friendly creature who likes to save snails and earthworms when he sees them on his path. And he loves nothing more than sticking up his little nose in the air and taking in his surroundings. He makes a loyal friend."

Indeed he does; he's already cozied up to San, the alpha dog in my little pack:
I heart Sky the Rabbit a ton. Thanks, Effunia!

Flaky Friends, favorite color swap

Haha say that 3 times fast!

Yay, she's here! I cracked up to see this face sticking out of the package and tissue paper, I love her!!

"Allow me to introduce Hot Dog. One and a half feet of blazing pink perfection,but be warned, she has a major attitude problem and will try to still your man!"

If you haven't checked out her blog/shop do so now she has made at least one of everything and they are all super cute and funny. Thank You Sarah!!

favourite colour swap

Gee, can you tell I'm Canadian? You probably all think I can't spell :)

Anyway, I've finished my toy for the latest softie swap. It turned out so sweet, it was hard to wrap it up and send it off. But I'm sure the recipient will give it lots of love and hugs. Would it ruin the surprise to post a tiny peek? All you can really tell is that the toy is in her favourite colour, brown, and it has a lovely smile. I wonder what I will get?
