Love Devil is now available as a necklace!

This devil is a bit confused. His favorite hero is Cupido and he dreams of being just like him. But watch out, he is a bit more selfish. He doesn't want to share your love, he wants you all for himself! And who wouldn't fall for such a cute devil!

Will you let him steal your heart?

Mrs Penguin birthday - photo story

Dawanda is having a photo story competition, this is my entry!
All plush from the story are available at dawanda, plush or as soft toy kits.
mariska.dawanda.com




Mr. penguin wakes up in the morning.


"I'll check my calender to see if I have anything important to do today", he thinks to himself. "OH NO! It's mrs. Penguins birthday, And I totally forgot to get her a present!"


He brushes his beak as he tries to come up with a good gift. "I'll give her a polar bear plush! uhm... no no no, that's not a good idea. Maybe she'll like a nice frozen fish. Nah, we had one yesterday. Maybe I'll just have to go look around for a good idea".

He walks around the neigborhood thinking what present to get Mrs. Penguin. He spots a cute kitty taking nap. "Maybe this kitty can help me think of a good present."

"HEY KITTY, wake UP!" he yells. But all the kitty does is snore louder.

"WOOF!" Mr. Penguin looks up and sees a big dog peering at them. "I will wake him up for you!" he barks. "WOOF, WOOF!"

Kitty wakes up with a start and jumps from the chair. "WOOF! I'll catch him!" the dog barks.

"I don't have time to wait for that," mr. Penguin thinks. "I'll go look somewhere else".

Mr. Penguin sees a nice ball. "Hey, that's a nice ball. Maybe I can give her that as a present, I think she will like that!".

"MOO, Get away! Those are my balls!" Mr. Penguin stares into the angry eyes of a very unhappy bull. "Maybe I'll find a gift in the garden", as he leaves the mad bull behind.

Mr. Penguin sees some pretty flowers in the garden. "THAT'S IT! She will love those. They are the perfect gift for mrs. Penguin."

"How beautiful" mr. Penguin says to himself as he smells the pretty flower.


He sneaks back into the bed with the flower. mrs. Penguin opens her eyes and yawns. "Good morning, mrs. Penguin. Happy birthday!"

"Ooh! What a pretty flower! You are so sweet!" she says and gives him a kiss.
