Bridget the Elephant 1
This was my first Bridget the Elephant made for #charitablecreatures.

So, how… Continue reading Thoughts on the Great North Run

Lizzie’s Summer of Running
Lizzie’s Summer of Running (June 2017) Why I’m Asking for Sponsorship Hi, I’m writing this piece because I need some sponsorship, and I’m not just asking for it to make up the totals.

Tiger ready for winter and Super Rainbow Bear were created for gorgeous siblings Ava and Teddy in return for a donation to Cancer Research UK.

Thea made a donation to… Continue reading Buddy
