Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals

Happy Birthday Beatrix Potter!

Guess what popular author was also a sheep breeder and farmer? She published 23 books between 1902 and 1932. A film about her life was released in 2006 starring Renee Zellweger.

 

If you guessed Beatrix Potter, you'd be right! Our Merryday Frog, Scrumpty Duck, and Bunglie Mouse, Bunny & Kitten wanted to pass on their birthday wishes.

Bet You Didn't Know a Bat, Highland Cow, Duck and Lion Could Make Cookies Together...

In honor of National Sugar Cookie Day yesterday, our newest additions decided to introduce themselves to the regulars at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals by whipping up a batch of Lemon/Lime Sugar Cookies.

Jellycat's Cordy Roy Lion, Tiny Truffles Highland Cow, Bashful Duck and Barty the Bat shared in the cooking duties.  Have you ever seen a bat try and use a lemon zester?

I'll measure out the sugar, says Barty. 

Oh, no! Bat overboard! 

Barty! Get out of the sugar!

 

Ducks are very good at measuring.

Our Cordy Lion thought the mixer was a carousel ride.

The final product was well worth all the effort and what a way to make new friends.

Happy National Sugar Cookie Day (one day late!)
