......This is where we were introduced to our little creature.........Julie asked us to help ourselves to one in the paper mache trug......

......here's mine.......all nude and shivering and ready for clothes......

.....Julie had brought along a vast collection of hand written knitting patterns for '''Ears and hats and odd garments....even a pattern for knitted knickers'' !......

 

.....So i chose some ears to knit for my one.....

.....OK, so back to my critter........there were vintage suitcases with old materials in and bags and bags of yarn for us to choose what we wanted to dress our creatures in......there was so much to choose from......so instead of me waffling, here it all is in pictures......

......and here's my little critter all finished...... i am so so in love with her i cant tell you, she will be a  companion forever...........a wonderful memory of a great day.....
