Amanda Spayd's critters get a name, Dust Bunnies

Amanda Louise Spayd's stuffed creatures have those lovable little faces and some even have big floppy ears ... but the one thing they've been missing? A name; I've usually referred to them as critters, but that's never been a...

Squishable Fezzy grows a moustache, wins my heart

Squishable had teamed up with the artist Andrew Bell several times before, resulting in the birth of such plushes as the Worrible, Deville, Batty, and Skettle. However, none of those compare, at least in my mind, to the sheer...
