New Raggy Rat Website ...

I am pleased to announce a lovely new Raggy Rat Website, linking together my up to date activities with an archive of all the old raggy rat favourites ... It even feeds from this lovely blog!


It has been carefully created for me by Differo Web Design and you can find them FACEBOOK too!

Sometimes, I find out how much fun happens ...

"Since I got the rat bag I wear it every day and EVERYONE talks about it! I have had young men, old men, smart women, scruffy women, old and young, children, parents, hipsters, grannies, hip hop people, goths, punks, business men, bouncers at clubs, all come up and ask about it, pat it, beg me to tell them where I got it, I have never in my life been so famous through an item!

"I've given them your website but honestly you should go global!! Seems no one can get enough of the Ratbag! Thought you'd like to hear that!

A Ratty Kind of Weekend ....

Made a black 'car rat' and a silver grey rat bag ...


Then Mary drew two very special rats ... she has never drawn a rat before! They are of our new girls, yes - a Rat owning family again!

Here is young Smudge, she is a Himalayan-hooded rat ...


And her sister Pepsi, a Hooded girl, and the alpha rat! Both named by my girls during a dinner discussion!

But then some one breaks a leg!

Following the making of Spirit II, there's a casualty. Too much galloping. So out comes the Araldite, my old Dad's favourite, and the little foal spends an over night wearing blue-tac hooves!



Then Mary, who would like to remind us that she is nearly four, learns to climb on the rocking horse all by herself! And is pleased. If still slightly nervous of the thing!



I was drowning in chores, so I got Daisy to fill in a few forms for me - that ought to do just nicely!



And I completed a couple of Rat Bags, and made a nice cup of tea!


Hmmm, shall I give that chair a paint job, perhaps? xxx

Everyone wants to play!

Should we go shopping? says a fun-loving raggy rat!



Raggy rats and a seemingly abandoned shopping trolly ... i told those chickenpants to park it properly, but did they? no!



My turn, give us a push!

new button jointed rats ....


based on 'mrs pack rat' who i made when i first joined the etsy plush team, i have created this cheerful bunch to come with me to artwey open studios ... and beyond !

they sat and waited a few days for me to root out buttons and sew on all their limbs ... "hey, thats MY left leg, please!"
