A Little Friend is for Life

Oh!....I realise I may have been a little reckless in my last post and so, to set the record straight....
A little Friend is for life not just for Christmas.
They all come with an adoption certificate which makes it very legal and official indeed. No getting out of commitment like that. There is no way that these little things can fend for themselves if you set them free....Nope. They need a quite substantial amount of care and love.

Little Friends for Christmas

Squeaky Beryl is ready for Christmas! I have been beavering away like an elf making a handful of them, all with different skirts to come with me to the Christmas shows, along with lots of Sleeping Babies in all sorts of pretty colours and different sizes. These are tiny hand-sized Squeaking Sleeping babies in midnight heather tweeds.
