Letty

New to the fivetrees shop today--a brightly colored mouse named Letty.
I lover her tiny noggin and her orange and pink sweater.
I think more things in the world should be pink and orange.

New pachyderm at fivetrees + a few other new toys appearing soon.

Rattles! I've been wanting to try my hand at making rattles for a while now. And I'm pretty excited about the results. Only one misstep and one resulting subpar rattle. But the second try was perfect and now I'm in the rattle crafting business.

Very similar to my finger puppets, but larger and for the shaking. So far, I have a bunny version, a kitty version and an elephant version. Check the bunny to the right.

And I think it's good design. Safety eyes and no hard parts--even the handle is just hardpacked with fiberfill. . .
