“I believe you have my stapler?”

CraftyGinger made the funniest Baldee in the likeness of Milton Waddams from Office Space. For the above image, she Photoshopped the sexy glasses and eyes onto him to give him just the right look. Clever!

Now all he needs, says CraftyGinger, is a tiny red stapler. I just might try to make one myself if she doesn’t do it first, though I’m not so sure I could pull it off.

Thanks so much for the test, Kari!

I was lucky to have some super-creative testers try out the Baldees pattern before it went in the shop. Their Baldees are so cool that I couldn’t wait to show them here.

First up is Kate’s Hardly-Hirsute Hamish!

From Kate (aka discosmurf on Ravelry):

H. H. Hamish is lovingly cultivating a small fuzz of facial hair (or is it chest hair?) to draw attention away from his lack lustre locks. He likes sunsets and movies (with Fantales), but dislikes windy days.

Aw, sounds like Hamish is putting out an ad to attract that special someone who will love him for his winning personality.

Kate was also sweet enough to send me a package of the Fantales that she mentioned, straight from Australia. They are like Rollos, except better because they come with movie trivia printed on the wrappers!

I’m trying to ration them, but it’s true that they’re especially tempting when watching a movie.

Thank you, Kate, for the test and the treats!

I sent off my one-of-a-kind toys last month for this year’s Plush You show in Seattle. I’m especially excited about what I made this year!

Here’s a little preview—it’s a quick photo I took back over the July 4th weekend as I was working on the first of three toys for the show at my in-laws’.

Any guesses what kind of creature this is? If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you might have an idea.

I’ll show the finished toys soon. Plush You 2009 opens at Schmancy in Seattle on October 9th!
