Hello from the Toymaker

Happy Spring!

Here at the Toymaker's Workshop I've been doing a Spring Clean.

 

 

I realized that Gmail and Yahoo changed their rules and that a good bit of my mailing list wasn't being delivered because of lack of a security certificate. Who knew? This made me feel behind the times and quite old. So I've spent the last few weeks going over every page of my website tiding up code, checking to make sure that links work and streamlining things as much as I could. I honestly don't know how many toys are here because I lost count, well over one hundred.

But all in all it was happy work and fun to look at things that I made ten, twenty years ago and more. And I hope that you have fun making the toys and sharing them with your friends.

Leaves are coming back on the trees. I'm hoping for at least one Wisteria blossom this year. I"m looking forward to more flowers to draw.

When you hold these little paper cats by the paws you can move their arms up and down to make them dance.
