Percy Piggy and Niko Kitty Skinny Jeans

Meet Percy Piggy and Niko Kitty Skinny Jeans - my latest custom order for a full of spunk eight year old girl...

These two are polar opposite yet they are the best of mates. Percy is diligent, honest and well… nerdy and Niko is cheeky, fun, a bit moody and down right full of attitude.

Niko: It's not me, it's Percy! chuckle chuckle chuckle

He is always playing jokes on Percy but when it comes down to it, no one really believes him!

They are going to a fun family and all I say to them is "keep on eye on that Niko!"

Niko

Height: 20cm approx

Loves: fun and practical jokes. When he grows up, he is doing creative STUFF, none of this 9-5 business!

Style: skinny jeans and short sleeves jumper, messenger bag is essential (must be woollen!)

Best mate: Percy and as much as he likes to tease his friend, he is fiercely loyal to him.

Arms in the air like I just don't care!

 

Percy

Height: 25cm approx

Loves: books & numbers! When he grows up, he wants to be someone who makes a positive difference to people.

Style: buttoned cardi and loafers (felted please...)

Best mate: Niko… just cause he has a good heart!

 

Of course it was Niko whose photos shoot was bombed by the Creative Director… trouble makers always attract each other!

This little Oinkling went to his new home!

This week I sent this little Oinkling to his new home!

Meet Master Chu (a revised, baby friendly version of the original)… 

The new Master Chu is my newest custom order for a recently arrived baby boy. I have been very excited about revisiting this design as the original version was made in 2010 and I have certainly learned some new techniques and honed in on my crochet stitches since then.

He stands roughly 25cm tall and 10cm wide around his belly. He might look rotund but you want him on your side because the esteemed Master Chu is a martial arts black belt! He loves a good adventure too and that's why he has his own satchel ready to go at anytime.

Made from 100% machine washable merino (head, ears, hooves, feet and tail) and 100% cotton (body, arms, legs and satchel), he is very huggable and squishable. His shiny black belt is 100% acrylic yarn and using 100% wool felt instead of plastic safety eyes makes him very baby friendly. 

His satchel has its own closure and will house all the essential items for any piggy adventures like treasure map? a compass?… well… you know… the possibilities are endless!

Here are some progress pics…
