Did you know that the 2nd annual softie awards have just started taking entries?
It’s not too late to get softie making and enter your own (closing date is April 18th). Full details can be found here on Softies Central but in short there are 5 categories and anyone can enter an originally designed softie. I’ve started thinking about mine and have a few works in progress that I hope to have finished over the coming week.
Why not take a look at the entries so far and get making yours? Good luck everyone and have fun softie making!

There are some lovely softies there already aren’t there? I hope you do well with yours. x

Hi,
I believe all your toys are really cute, but I just love the rabbits. This two-coloured little one is oh so adorable! Can’t wait to see it when finished.
