Only took 3 months to make this soft and snuggly wardrobe staple for my eldest! ๐คฃ Honestly just a little done with no colour now but very happy with the result!

My gorgeous ginger and white Brian man enjoying the garden. Made it to just over 16 years old. Rest easy xx
I had the worst day yesterday having to have our gorgeous Brian put to sleep. Breaks my heart that cats' lifespans are so much shorter than ours. Cheered myself up with photos of my recent spin. Won't make the house less empty but at least it's squishy ๐งถ
