Your robots look positively chuffed with themselves!
And I already have a love affair with your dog and her puppies. I've been dreaming of them ever since I first saw them. They've been telepathically telling me that they want to come live in my studio......

I just purchased a similar daschund pattern, but yours is sooooo much cuter. The little puppies and the bed make a set my daughter would be giddy over.

willywagtail said...

Woohoo! What cute puppies and robots. Cherrie

Cassidy said...

These are to die for! My little boy will love to play with those little dogs, and his daddy might love it more.

NebraskaNative said...

The new patterns are brilliant! Poppy & her pups could be a potentially great "fix" for those who get sneezy around the live, four-legged, barking kind. My little boys are ga-ga for dogs and yes, allergic to them! Perhaps this is the answer for the short run. Wishing you well with the newest additions to your line. Cheers-

Liesl said...

Your new patterns are fab - the robots are so much fun and Poppy and the pups are really cute. Edward (or his alter-ego Elsie) was such a delight to make, that I'd love be counted in for your draw!

Tamara said...

I am certainly not delurking but it would be nice to win a pattern or two.

Oh my agoodness, they are soooo cute! I love Poppy and the puppies.

I love the robots' linking hands - they look like they are about to skip down the road together! Poppy and puppies are super cute, but with their special bed, I did an inward squeal!

Anonymous said...

I am trying to find a source for your patterns, but the two links didn't carry all of them. Any other sources?
Thanks!
