These cute bunnies look like they've been put in the corner for being bad. I couldn't find anyone else to pair them with but they're too cute not to share.

What's so cool about THIS softie?
It's hard to pick one thing that makes a softie special or unique. Neverthless, I've highlighted one or two aspects of each of these creatures that I think sets them apart...and makes you take a closer look.
What's so cool? His arms are reclycled from a vintage doll.
Designer: novembermoon
What's cool? She's a panda but instead of using black and white fabric, Marisa Bogg chose a pink wool print.

New online store with SOFTIEs in UK
Below is the store header for a favorite online shop with softies that recently opend in the UK. The softies are all by Theresia. I've featured a few of her pieces in the past, so I'm glad to see she's doing more!
Isn't this header cute? The store is called Minoridesign - minori is a Japanese word meaning 'harvest'. You'll see some Japanese influences in her work.
Here are some more cuties:
