first up is Oak with Dutsy (a talking parrot who only says nice things, so far)

then we have Nidas and tiny Sol (duckling who thinks Nidas is his mom)

Bigger boys:

no name 1

no name 2

no name 3

I’ve also finished one of the two things I’ve started knitting

It was for my little set – all for a gorgeous little boy Emlyn, our friend’s first born

I’m quite proud of my linen bibs

I admit, I like making small things mainly because I like fitting with tiny details and love sowing by hand, so anything that requires sowing machine is a much bigger challenge for me, but I’m getting there .  I made my first mini linen trousers, crap picture, but those pants are definitely not!

To be continued…

It’s Paavo. Who would not live without carrots

and his buddy Bongo

and would not go to bed without hearing his favourite story, yes, about that enormous carrot…

Kimiko is a girl’s girl. My girl for now, but could be yours

I also so want to help. And I would love you to help so that it ends up as WE HELP ROSE. Wouldn’t you hope for a support and some sort of participation from others if that would be your child in Rose’s place? I would. It doesn’t necessarily need to be something big – £1 from one and each of you reading this post could end up in a round and very much appreciated, even more so needed sum of money that could very likely make a real difference to at least 4 people, that’s the Willcocks family. If you can – participate: spread the word, donate…

As my participation I’ve got Davy, a sweet little mohair teddy. He stands at 12.5cm or 4.9inches tall and comes in a small wooden box along with some felt goodies: a tiny snail called Slow (Davy’s best friend), a Christmas tree, a party hat and some yummy sugar coated doughnuts with a bottle of milk (teddies favourite comfort food ) that fits in a handy basket. Davy can sit, move his little arms and legs + comes with a hand knitted hat and a scarf to keep him warm. There’s one more item, not shown, that will come in the box – a little surprise!

Davy is up for an auction here. And he will go to the person who offers the highest bid by 11pm 22/11/2007. Use the comments bellow for your offers. All proceeds will go to the Rose fund.

Here he’s, ready for a big mission with devoted friend Slow by his side:

ready to party:

ready to be your friend:

+ that handy basket:

All of it can be yours, or a present for somebody…

Thank you for taking your time, HUGE THANKS to those who want to help and good luck!
