BFF's Forever

BFF Bunnies, 10x8


Best friends since childhood Roxy and Tufts are inseparable.  Recently they decided to make and exchange friendship bracelets. Somehow, while tying on each others bracelets, they managed to get badly knotted together. For a time, before they were able to cut free, they were literally inseparable.

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty, 8x10


Inspired by a bedtime story Violet decided to test whether or not she was actually a princess. She gathered all the pillows she could find, stacked them in a pile and slipped a pea between the bottom two.  She got a good night's sleep so she supposes she's not a princess after all. But that's OK, a good night's sleep is worth more than being a princess.

Online Shopping

Basset in a Hat, 8x10

A recent convert to Internet shopping, Mabel ordered herself a pretty new hat. Unfortunately she somehow chose XXS as her size. Undeterred she set her hat at a jaunty angle and wore it proudly. She thinks she started a new trend.

My Favourite Chair

My Favourite Chair, 8x10


Timmy loves to read and has many favourite books. He also has a favourite chair. Sturdy, sophisticated and with great lumbar support, this chair makes him feel like a little prince when he sits in it.  Most importantly though it's warm and cozy, and when he snuggles deeply he feels warm and protected.

The Master Gardener

Smells Like Spring, 8x10


Harold decided he wanted a flower garden this Spring. He did all of the hard work required of a garden, such as driving to the store, choosing his flowers and lugging them home. He was very pleased with the results and now considers himself a master gardener.

In My Next Life I'll be a Detective

Squirrel in a Fedora, 8x10


A rabid fan of mystery novels, Henry dreamed of becoming a detective. His first step was to buy a fedora at a second-hand shop to help look the part. Now he spends his days as a bus driver and his nights as a grizzled gumshoe (actually he just wears his hat in bed while reading his mysteries but that's kind of like being an actual detective, right?)

Still Fascinating

 
Lovely Lady, 8x10


Margaret's newest fashion purchase was a wonderfully, feathery fastinator. She felt it struck the right balance between chic and sophisticated. Her boyfriend just felt sorry for the people who sat behind her at the movie theatre the other night.

Fascinating

Fancy Bird, 8x10


Inspired by the royal wedding Beatrice started wearing a fastinator. She loved it so much she wore it everywhere - even to her yoga class. Downward dogs became a challenge but great fashion is worth any discomfort.
