How do you like it?

Hi all.

Have been unwell so thought that whilst I'm still alive instead of blah-ing on <---new word there, I reckon, I would post some more piccies of some toys I made for sale and/or the grand-twins.

All made from scraps. Enjoy.

First a legal warning:
Please be careful looking at these toys.

Some of the pictures have sharp corners.

Some of them contain parts that could be swallowed by a child. Especially if that child has a mouth capable of pigging out on something the size of its own head.

Bear this in mind if you copy any of the designs.

They also are finished in a child safe oil which can cause injury when the 5 litre can containing the oil is bumped with a bare foot.

Do not ask me how I know this.

No electrons were harmed in the posting of these pictures and only stunt cats were used and no harm was done to them. Much. Well, maybe a little bit but accidents happen.

A special family by request.


Another special family living in a 300mm tall house with no stairs!


It's a pair of rattles I made for the you-know-whos. Ninja the nosey cat doing what she does best - bugger all but get in the way (anybody want a cat).


Another wheeled vehicle about 200mm long. No. Wheely, it is.


The goddess calls this the roadster, I think. Or maybe it was rooster. Also about 200mm long. The roadster/rooster not the goddess.


My first noisy pair of toys for the grand-twins. The balls make an irritating ping-ponging noise bouncing around inside their 'cage'.

Grandparenting is all about revenge.


Drumming up some business for when the twins get older.


Lots of wheels on this dude and is almost half a metre long. Maybe I should just say it is wheely long. Sure get tyred making wheels.

Should keep the punsters happy for a while.

BTW
Happy New Year

Wooden it be nice...

...Oh, no. Not another lot of scraps from the Docs Wood Den.

Yep.

Aussie, Aussie Aussie, Oi, Oi,Oi and another Aussie!<---added an extra 'coz there are four. (New Aussie National Anthem)



Now, this guy has been dogging me for a while.



Do these stripes make me look tall?


Do these stripes make me look fat!


OMG...Aliens!!! (Looks sooo like a nativity scene to me). And they have stripes.


You've heard of a one knight stand, yes? He's on the left.


Animal magnetism. Can't see the attraction, myself.


Do these stripes...oh forget it.


Why hygiene is important to elephants.


What did he write about us?


The one that got away was this big.


It's knot stripes I have to worry about


Typical rabbit. Start off as a three piece...


...in no time at all you end up with more


Time to sleep on it.


I'm too cute to worry about stripes


Sorry about all that. It is said every pun has its just reword!

Thought I would chuck these up whilst I had a few minutes before the Goddess finds me.

Peace

Yes, even I have friends. Who'd have thunk.

And that is my own hair under it, complete with ear ring.


Gotta go, now, Scarecrow has just found out where I have been hiding.

Hooroo.
