This is a quick post to say a big big thank you to @zen-art for the great little felt toys at she has made for my two daughters! Also it is a post to describe my first Steem to real life transaction. I have made transactions with other crypto, but this was the first in this particular chain. So also a proof of receipt!

Quotes are from the original post by @zen-art.

Ming

The fox is for my older daughter, she really is into cute stuff and the fox really fits the bill there! The description originally described Ming as :

a very clever and intuitive fox. She likes exploring and traveling, and she is very intelligent. Puzzle games are her favorite. She likes to learn and expand her knowledge.

This was what first caught my eye, it was very close to how I would describe my own daughter.

So, I was intrigued, and of course as anyone knows, if you get something for one kid, you'd better make sure you have enough to go around!

Edgar

So, that led me to choosing Edgar the bat. Our second daughter is a funny one. She is generally pretty happy, but with strangers she is the baby that will give you one crazy death stare! This is particularly embarrassing in supermarkets where older people come to play with the baby, and it really looks like she will leap out of the trolley and rip their head off, if she could...

Edgar knows that a lot of kids (and adults too) are afraid of bats and that is why he wanted to be the cutest little bat anyone has ever seen. He wants to learn people that they should not be afraid of anything just because they do not understand it or because it looks different.

Well, not quite the words I would use to describe our little toddler, but the idea that she is completely shy and so presents a angry face to a stranger hides the fact that she is really a funny and happy child, just painfully shy!

However, it doesn't stop me buying funny soft toys for her like this!

In case you are wondering, that is Little My from Moomin.

It's me!

Well, why should the girls get new toys and I miss out? Ages ago, the oldest made this cool little avatar of me in Androidify. It's basically dress ups for Androids (from Google). I love it, and it does l a bit like me, so I asked if @zen-art could make up a real life toy from my avatar picture.

I'm so happy that she did, now I have a little mascot to put in my violin case!

@zen-art, Thanks again! We love them!
