My “Hug Me! Slugs” have just been featured on firrkids.com, a review site for children’s fiction and non-fiction books, DVDs, toys and games. You can see the feature here: So you like slugs? Thanks so much, Jennifer! I’ve been feeling blue, and that really made my day.

Here they are…all neat and orderly, with their hang tags tied on, smiling for the camera.

Once I write a few ads, I’ll be putting these five up for adoption over in my Etsy shop.

This is what my workroom looks like this week. My mom came in and started to talk to me the other day, without even noticing them, apparently, because all of a sudden she let out a big, “AH!”

They kind of stare at you like Hypnotoad, only in a completely benign way. We hope…

I’ve also been putting together their hang tags and experimenting with making my pattern over in different sizes. I want to make another, one step down in size from this one, but I’m not sure if I can turn those antennae right side out if I go too small. I guess the only way to know is to try one.

Here is a sneak peek at my new “Hug Me! Creatures” original art toys. S.B.’s “Huggy Slug” suggestion finally came to fruition after a lot of procrastinating by me, and, don’t you know, while I was fiddling around, someone went and trademarked a very similar name 🙁 So, we’ve all been tossing slug name ideas around, and the “Huggy Slug” was reborn as the “Hug Me! Slug”, part of the “Hug Me! Creatures” family, previously known as the “Huggy Creatures” family.

I really don’t like to step on anyone’s toes! Huggy Bunny and Huggy Kitty now have a cousin, with more on the way.
