Hi All!!

I hope you and all your fids are fit and flourishing.

Here are some toys I've made recently.

Two busy baskets for friends' TAG and Sennie

And finally, a very girly, dangly thing I made for Percy last night.

The baskets are such a fantastic idea! I must give it a go. I have toy parts on their way, Yay! !! Is there anything in particular to look out for/avoid when looking for a basket to use?

Beautiful as always. Michelle, you should start an online bird toy company (Percy's Bird Toys) and sell them! :D

April as long as the baskets are untreated or unvarnished, they are good to go :)

Thanks for the compliment Raven but I'm so hyper, if I had to make the same thing over and over, I'd probably be sick of it inside a week! :D

I bet Percy just loved the big pink one;) Heck, I love it! Looks like a win chime or sun catcher:) I love the sea life one too. Your friends bird will probably thoroughly enjoy this baskets:) What a nice gift.

WOW! great toys.... if you don't mind me asking how did you do the little cupcake paper puffs? I make 90% of Kiwi's toys myself and would love to make her some of those.. . I think she will enjoy them.
