Osvald
Is not the one pictured here, but from the same family, so won’t look very different and yes, as promised – he’s gonna end up being somebody’s (yours?) for free.
Little Osvald is nothing but giggles with Bob on my wall. No idea what they both are on about, but It’s fun making these and it’s definitely fun having them around the house, puts a smile on your face and makes it wider if there already was one 
. The production is gonna start again very soon, anyone wanting to reserve a hedgehog – drop me a line and I’ll do my best.
Now then, Osvald is up for grabs – just leave a comment and keep as many fingers crossed as you can We gonna choose an owner for this boy next Thursday the 27th. Good luck!

I’ve just brought Pier for my little boy and would love Osvald as a companion for him. We live a magical life surrounded by badger wood, streams, caves and fairy circles so Osvald would fit right in! My little boy loves using his imagination to play and today he played for hours with just a walnut shell and a blue cloth. The walnut shell became a magical plane and then a boat slipping down stream whilst he sung ‘row row row your boat’. his patience and imaginaiton would be stirred even more by Osvald. here’s hoping…

He looks ready to play in the snow.
If we have a white christmas, I’d like to build a snowman with Osvald.
I think we could have lots of fun together xOx

I would also love an email when you have more items added to your etsy shop.

Neįtikėtinas Osvaldas! Beje,kaip ir kiti tavo darbai:) Dažnai užsuku į tavo blogą ir niekaip negaliu atsigrožėti ir atsidžiaugti:)
Labai norėčiau, kad Osvaldas patektų į mano namus…

Oh my…. I should just make Osvals for each of you!

Oswald sent me an email the other day. I was rather surprised to hear from him. He said he really wants to come to my house and live. Not sure what it’s all about but I told him he’s more than welcome here. Thank you for the giveaway he’s adorable.

Love love love your Osvald!!!! I think my little Simas would need a sweet company for Christmas
You are such a great great bear creator. Everytime I see your bears I just want to be friend with them.
I hope you had a great weekend. It is very chilly in London

My 6 year old grand daughter would LOVE to have Osvald…she’s just learning to sew on her aunt’s little Singer sewing machine, but she’s been “helping” me with my bears since she was a baby.

WOW! I want Osvald so much! he’s such a cutie!!!
I’ve ordered a Rodger set and I think Osvald will be very happy playing with Rodger in their new home, and Osvald will be able to get some carrots from Rodger for sure!
I hope I can take him home with me…

Hey Hey Osvald
Come down to Australia for a play,
a hedgehog and a koala would get on just great.
Don’t forget to bring your sunnies, it’s a date.

Mia I am so blown away by your work. Your pieces are so refreshing and new and meticulously sewn and I would be honored to call Osvald mine (or would I be his?)

Dearest Osvald,
It has been so long since you and I last met, I miss you.
I can barely smell the scent of you, and just make out the blur of red in my mind, of that scarlet scarf you always wear.
How you make me smile, Osvald. I remember walking along that little stone bridge with you as we grinned and giggled over the state of hedgehog gossip we’d read about in ‘Hedge with an edge’ magazine. Those were some good times.
So I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m writing to you?
Well, I’d like to convince you to come home Osvald. Please. Come home. It’s been too long. I need a hug. I need your special little ways of making me feel that it’ll be okay. I need you.
Rest assured that I will forgive you if you are unable to make it here, all this way. I know I do not live centrally, but I live for you Osvald, and I’m dearly looking forward to seeing you somewhere, somehow, on our little bridge, far, far away.
A Hug for you, laughs, and a little cheeky smile…
Your friend..
thea.
