Title: Some lovely things my Mom made :) PIC HEAVY
Post by: griff on May 25, 2016, 06:19 PM: Hello Radsters

Just had a visit from my parents and my Mom brought a few little friends with her to show us (see pics below)
Since my Dad spends most of the day hiding in his sheds lately, she's taken to knitting animals to help Acorns (a Birmingham children's hospice).

They are about 9" tall & come with removable jumpers/dresses with various designs on, all of which can be customised with different colours

They make fantastic gifts & sell for Â£20 + post (not bad considering they take her about 3 days to make) & all profits go straight to the charity. There's a bit of a waiting list for them but they are quality, if you fancy one just get in touch ;)

Not sure if there are any plans for squirrels, but there should be monkeys, mice and hedgehogs at some point :)

The rabbits are pretty reliable, but don't let the fox anywhere near your stash :D

Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on May 26, 2016, 10:59 PM: I'll have an Elephant if your Mum can spare the time to make another one Griff. I''d like a monkey too when they're done. PM sent :daumenhoch:

Post by: griff on June 03, 2016, 11:50 AM: Andy's elephant arrived and looks ace (it's a one-off to his own spec)

The girl bunny goes out to Ash's little daughter today and Pooch's boy will be getting his own elephant very soon :)

As I had them out at my desk someone commented on how fantastic they looked and immediately bought the remaining two animals, so I'm all out of stock!

If anyone wants one for their child (or themself, I'm not going to judge lol) then please get in touch - there might be a bit of a wait as they take a few days to make (& my mom isn't a machine) but I'm sure you'll be happy with the result

thanks all for the support - you've helped my mom raise over £100 for the Acorn children's hospice :4_17_5:
