I confess that not everything I make is made with natural things. I have been a semi serious Littlest Pet Shop hoarder for going on 15 years now. It started when my now 17 year old daughter was 3, progressed through her aging out of her Littlest Pet Shop toy collection (which I refused to part with) and continued with my youngest daughter, now 12. Oh yes, my children are my excuse for hanging on to these little critters. No one actually plays with them anymore (unless my grand daughter is over), but No, no, no I won't let go of a single one! In fact, I do sort of play with them. Yes, I make things for some of them to wear, and when the grand daughter is over, I sometimes make them talk. My 12 year old got me into making flower crowns for them. It's a hoot doing a photo shoot. Some of the kitties are down right sassy! Now days, these cute little critters go by the shortened moniker of LPS in a lot of places, and the look of them has changed so much over the years. I'm a snob about these changes. If it doesn't have a good bobble head, I don't want it. And then, Hasbro changed them horribly a few years ago...snicker..lets not get me started on the frogs, and the shapes of their heads, which reminded me ever so much of...well, just turn one upside down and make it stand on its head and I think you will catch my drift! I found a site here on Weebly devoted to protesting those unfortunate changes: stopnewweirdlps.weebly.com/letters-to-hasbro/letters-to-hasbro My favorites are the ones that came out in the mid 2000s. There was even a Littlest Pet Shop cartoon series. It was O.K., but I think My Little Pony is better. I prefer the free lance You Tube Littlest Pet Shop videos. Remember, before you decide that I'm completely bonkers: I never watch any of this stuff solo. I always have the excuse of catering to a child ready on the shortest notice. If you happen to want a flower crown for your sassy LPS kitty, you can find our work on EBay. (Well, mostly it's my 12 year old daughter's work)
