Meet Percy the Parrot

Meet Percy. He's s simple little man with a personality as bright as his feathers.


In our short time together we had many adventures but today he has gone off to a new life, as the companion of a young and brilliant pirate, 20 month old Cecelia.


Farewell Percy!

Weird 70's Toys

I get donated crafty type things on a regular basis and quite a while ago I was given a book called Creative Soft Toy Making (first published 1974). I've looked at it but never in much depth until this weekend when it's fabulousness hit me in the face. It contains your regular and slightly dull cuddly bear and rabbit designs however the author also created soft toy patterns for 'The Scholars' - Socrates, Aristotle (and pupils), Copernicus, Hippocrates and Plato. She has even included mini bios about each.


I'm swooning! All my philosophical and creative buttons being pushed at once?! Why oh why cannot I not magic the book into a male to shackle and keep forever?

On a slightly related note, do you think soft toy porn actually exists?

Rule 34. Go!
