Teddy Bo Tuesday Challenge

It's time for a new challenge over at Teddy Bo today and this time around our theme is -

Lace and/or Pearls

You need to use a Teddy Bo image to play along and could be in with the chance of winning a fabulous ten images of your choice from the Teddy Bo and Co store.

The image I've used was drawn specially for me, as it is my Grandson Charlie's 3rd birthday on 6th November and he loves Mini's - they have to be red, because that's his favourite colour.

I have used a bit of artistic license to colour in some of the details so that the image matches the

ride-in Mini Cooper he is getting for his birthday.

A big thank you to Gayle for the fabulous image, it's just perfect.

Here's a pic of the young man himself, I was looking after him one day a couple of weeks ago, he was on his laptop and I was working on the computer, when I suddenly thought to myself, he's very quiet, what on earth is he up to now, I turned around and saw this - he was fast asleep, standing up!!!
He has a leopard print fleecy blankie, that goes everywhere with him and when it's in the wash he uses his mum's dressing gown, which is what he is snuggled up to here.

Teddy Bo Friday!

I missed Teddy Bo Tuesday this week as I have been really busy, mainly having murder with the local hospital, over a pair of shoes for Meg.

12 months ago she had casts made of her feet to send off to a company in Germany to make her some new shoes (we can't buy shoes for her as her feet are tiny (she's 23 and her feet are smaller than my 8 year old grandsons), and really oddly shaped). Although she doesn't need the shoes for walking or standing, she suffers from really bad circulation and her feet are always freezing, last winter she had to wear fleecy bed socks over her socks whenever we went out, just for an extra layer of warmth, she also has severe osteoporosis in her feet and legs as she has never walked or put weight through them, so the shoes are protection against knocks which could result in broken bones - anyway, here we are 12 months and a number of phone calls to the hospital later - heading into another winter - and Meg still doesn't have any shoes to wear.

It turns out that the company in Germany are saying they have never received an order, and the hospital are saying they have sent the order twice (which seems odd as Meg has only had casts made once), so we now have an appointment for Monday for Meg to be re-assessed, which probably means she will be going through another Winter wearing bed socks!

Sorry about the rant, here's my card.

Oli the Ephelump

You may remember Oli the ephelump from the Teddy Bo family, well he has had a bit of a make-over and is back again, after losing a little weight, and going to the gym to get a more streamlined physique LOL!

He has also managed to get himself a friend, of the female variety, called Molly who you can find HERE on Tuesday's post.

Teddy Bo Tuesday Woohoo! He's back!

Today is a special day for more than one reason, as well as being my youngest daughters 23rd birthday (Happy Birthday Meg) we are also back with a new Teddy Bo release.

After quite a long break whilst we relocated from our tower in the depths of cold, wet Scotland to a Minaret (closest thing we could find to a tower) out in the desert of a hot and sunny United Arab Emirates we are back, yaaaayyy!
