Nessie (Junior #56 named patches)
Is using my clean towel I get daily

Needs a rubber ducky ✔️
Possibly a comically small shower cap ✔️
Some faux bubbles too ✔️

no actual bath was taken, just thought it looked cute

i was embarrassed for a while about being an adult and having so many plushies or still being in fandoms that may be considered childish, but then it kind of just clicked that it doesn’t matter. most of the people i come across aren’t going to care. anyways i had to snag one of the big warrior cat plushies and i got my favorite character on the first try!! he’s super comforting i love him so much :) i might use some of the minky or embroidery floss i have to give him little paw pads

My Wolfie loves fries, so I ordered him a whole bunch! …Think he can finish them all?

Meet Bubblegum! I posted last week about my first try making a plushie, a felt bat I named Forrest. I wanted to try making another plush using regular fabric and here she is!

🧼 This week, Pippine had a bath. Once she was all dry, she was happy to roll around in bed!

After last week's outing to a forest, today Pancake the Baby Turtle goes to a Café for session of gluttony! Her little tummy is getting rounder!

My raven is named Silas and my crochet rabbit is BunBun. 🫰🏾🩷

Vintage Douglas cat! I love her so much 😭. Any name ideas? I’m thinking she needs a classic old lady name.

Shes a mare and i named her mari after a person i used to love that isnt with me anymore

Isnt she the cutest? Anyone also have a plush of horse and wants to share it in comments? Id love to see

I have these really strong childhood memories of getting to visit FAO Schwartz as a kid.

We lived about 3 hours from the Seattle store, so those visits were special occasions. The whole store was a little kid's dream, but I remember the Steiff section specifically. I spent so much time with my nose pressed up against the glass trying to decide which one I wanted the most.

However, they were expensive enough that I never got one.

But cut to many years later, and I am adult with adult money! 😁

I rediscovered Steiff last year. I was thrilled to see they were still in business even if that FAO Schwartz is long gone.

I searched through their whole site, excited looking for a plush that would speak to me like they did when I was kid. There were a lot I liked...but none I loved. Not even the super special collector's line. 🫤

But a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across a picture of the new Halloween Steiffs while hunting for something else entirely. My inner child was pressing her nose up against the glass again asking pllleeeeeeease?

I finally clicked the order button and Batilda the bar bag clip and Nibble the vampire penguin arrived yesterday. I couldn't be happier with them. 🥰

this is bunbun

ive had this guy since i was 2 months old. hes been through hell and back. blood, sweat and tears have made this bunny who he is today. i bring him with me everywhere (most recently rollercoasters)

however, over the years, i would scratch his ears so they were all scrunched up, and then undo it and repeat. if im not holding something, im scratching his ears.

as you can see, his ears have had better days, and im just fearing the day that something happens to where i cant scratch his ears anymore.

i feel i should also mention, i have TWO bunbuns. the other one is in pristine condition. full of stuffing, no holes, full of color, and most importantly, his ears are intact.

i dont know. any advice or words of wisdom for my boy?

I figured I would share this big guy here, because I've seen a few of you share that sometimes dog toy plushies peak your interest and you purchase them just like a regular plush. I have him around the most common sized plushies I have for size reference (the My Pet Monster is the new smaller release, not the full sized original).

My hubby gave me the weirdest look when we went to PetSmart to get food for my tarantula, jumping spider, and corn snake and my eyes fell on this Kong Wild Knots plushie and as soon as I picked him up, I immediately wanted him. He does have a little bit of stuffing inside, but his "skeleton" is the toy rope knots that dogs play with and for someone who has issues with one of my hands (I may be developing a little bit of nerve or arthritis issues), the knots inside of his hands and feet fit perfectly in my palm and squeezing on it will help loosen my hand when it tenses up and aches sometimes. This big guy does have a squeaker in him, but it's up where his heart would be, so there's no chance of me accidentally squeezing it. I just really enjoy the texture of him because he's unlike any of my other plushies (though I know that's probably because he's the only plushie I have that was made for dogs). 🫣🤭

I was really excited to see if these guys lived up to their price point, and oh boy do they. I am so shocked at the quality of these plushies… the weight and the various packing density in certain areas of the body make it feel so real. I feel like I just adopted a pet lol.

Yay! 🥰

I guess I'll name them Bandwidth like in the tag

Proud of you too, keep on rocking with your little buddies!

TW: abuse

(Delete if not allowed or too weird)

I won’t get into details but I was sexually abused. Last night I was dealing with some heavy feelings, felt very vulnerable and didn’t want to take my clothes off to shower. I decided to have my build a bears keep me company so I didn’t feel as vulnerable getting in the shower.

What other weird ways do you find comfort from your plushies?

He’s a wild republic jumbo cheetah and he’s perfect. Very nicely detailed, super soft and a great cuddle buddy. He has a beautiful and expressive face with a high quality, silky-soft print and a nice long tail. He’s 30 inches long (~55 including his tail) and that’s like my perfect size for a stuffed animal. I was able to get him on sale for around $60 which I think is a pretty great value. Ive already their jumbo African leopard for 2 years and I wanted something similar. All I need now is a good name! I was thinking Apollo but I’m open to anything.
