Not posted in a while, due to losing my Uncle and my beloved Mum.
These are my memory bears, made for family from my Mum’s t shirts, and the darker blue bear made from my Uncle’s shirts.
They are a wee bit fiddly, and are hand stitched before being sewn on the machine.
Each has been made to specifications from the person it was made for.

It's and we're casting our minds back to January's fundraiser for Ms Larissa Thorne's pal Gabriel. A night full of love and light, helping a trans man get closer to his fundraiser goal.
Now Gabriel has been a bit poorly, so we'll just leave a link to his fundraiser here...

How lucky am I!?
I have inherited my Great Aunt’s sewing machine. It’s not a singer, but I’ve never seen a more beautiful old machine.
It’s in full working order, came with its original instructions, and the original receipt from 1915.

Sharing my sandwich with this little chap today.

Well it’s safe to say that Shrimpy 2.0 has been well received by Shrimp & Doodle!
He’s Shrimpy on tour, with his backpack, ready to get his travel on.
Meeting new friends and smelling the flowers.
Shrimpy is a special commission for a special lady, so he is not going to be repeated, but if you have your own special non trademarked character, maybe a picture that a child has drawn, feel free to get in touch, and I’ll see what I can come up with.

Received my box of special goodies today from Shrimp & Doodle!
Thank you so much Kayleigh!
I will be putting my lil Shrimpy on my denim jacket with all my other amazing badges. 😘
Shrimpy’s brother is half done, and should be with you soon. Xx
