These posts are so delightful! Your knitting is fabulous, but so are your humor and photos. There's such a sense of play and fun, and it's infectious. The photo of the one stabbed with a needle made me actually LOL (and I'm not generally an LOL kind of person). You've got something special going on here.

It's been a shit day and it felt so good to laugh when I read, "This poor soul was sat upon by my ample bum and came out a bit flat. I gave him cpr and he’s fine now, stuffing all redistributed properly again." Can you send me your Etsy page?

Stuffed frog cpr is different from human cpr, you have to do it from the sides instead of the top.

My shop not up and running again yet, nothing to see. I’ll message you when it is open but it’s https://amidnightemporium.etsy.com

Loved this, Tamsin! So much fun. Thanks for taking the time to create and share such a charming post. I'm so impressed by people who can knit such small, detailed creations. And knit creatures in darling clothes are some of my favorite. I follow India Rose Crawford on Instagram for her Frog and Toad videos. And this is just as lovely. 😀

Also, may I ask what your Etsy page is? I'd love to look at it. Maybe invite one of these lovely characters to live on my desk. :)
