A tiny new friend

While I was away, I received a package. I was not expecting anything but when I got home, this darling little bear captured my heart.

 I took part in a Pay It Forward from BumbleVee, otherwise known as Vee who has a wonderful, delightful and humourous blog called "The "Bearister" Bookcase." Pop on over to see the other PIF little ones that made their destinations safely. 

As you can see, Rusty (the name I came up with) is completely posable(jointed) and is made from felted wool. He can sit and he can stand but he doesn't talk so he is a quiet sort or bear with his little scarf.

Vee also gifted me with a couple of batik fat quarters in my favourite colour and look at that sweet little mouse on the card.

 Here's Rusty and Ron Slippers waving "Hi" to Vee to let her know that all is well. 
Ron hails from the UK and also wanted to say "Hello" to Midge and the Soggibottom gang to let them know of his newest friend - a cowboy bear from out west.

And now, it's time for me to finish up my end of Paying It Forward so, if you are still waiting, just know that sometime soon, there will be something in the mail.

Special Mail

Here I am Soggibottom crew. I made it safe and sound so stop frettin' Amie Midge. I'm just having a big stretch to get all them there kinks out of the joints.

It sure was crowded in that little box.

Midge sure knows how to pack but that was OK 'cause I was well padded when those blokes at the post offices started throwin' them there packages around.

After I got a bit fluffed up I met with that hairy dog Baxter. He's bigger than you Amie but just as nice (well, almost.) He just awoke from his nap so I just let him be. We just sniffed each other a bit - gettin' to know one another.

Then I thought I'd go see the kitty. Her name is Pixel and maybe I shouldn't have woke her either. I think she got a little scared o' me because she left right off. There was another kitty too but I didn't meet her until much later in the day.

Well, the missus over here is lookin' after me real well. She's got one of them computer things too and I sit and watch her using it. We snacked a bit on tea and honey. I guess I have to get used to all the different foods and things now that I'm in Canada. Excitin' times ahead.

The missus told me how much she liked all the stuff that were in the box with me keeping me all warm and squished - and not hurtin' when them there blokes was throwin' the packages. And here I was thinkin' it was just stuff to keep me from getting all bounced around. Don't worry Midge - I'll mind my p’s and q’s and make you proud o’ me. The missus told me to tell you that I’ll be havin’ my picture took every once in a while and we can send them to you so you and the rest of the Soggibottom crew won't miss me so much.

Well, that was a long trip. I'm off for a nap.
