While we had some good drying weather last week I decided it was time the soft toys I finally got back from storage last year had a good clean. They were stored in bags but were still dusty and looking bedraggled.

The certainly brighten the back garden up...

Dear lord! Did they multiply when they were hanging on the line? :)

[badly_knitted]

Nope, still the same number I hung out, lol! That's three washer loads, and I still have so many more to wash...

You seem to have a whole platoon of ducks there! There must be a story behind that.

I like ducks! All kinds of birds really, I have an ostrich, a flamingo, kookaburras, a bald eagle... But I really like ducks a lot, there are a load I haven't even washed yet, the pink ones, blue ones, purple ones... We used to have a couple of real ducks. Lovely birds.

I don't even know where half of my stuffies came from. I know mum bought a lot of them, but I'm responsible for more than a few myself. Soft fluffy things are an irresistible temptation!

I am imaging your neighbors seeing that!

:D

Thankfully it's not easy to see into my garden, but they already know I'm weird anyway...

Plus, I was talking to my stuffies as I hung them out, so... *grins*

That looks like a lot of plush birdies.

Yeah, the Dickie Byrds... Mum and I bought every one we saw in charity shops for years. There are 32 altogether, ranging in size from 4 to 12 inches, but only 31 are on the line. Dilwyn hasn't been washed yet because his little Welsh hat is glued on and would come off in the wash.

Hee hee!

I keep telling myself 'no more stuffies', I even sent loads to the charity shops, but I still sometimes buy another...
