This is me at Soft Star Shoes on March 31, 2006. Larkin (and Kahlil) are giving me my first checks from selling the Playful Pancakes on the Soft Star Shoes website.

Where is "tank"?

Meaghan made tank. Laura and Sven from Santa Barbara, California bought tank for their dog Tuco - see, Playful Pancakes aren't just for cats!

Where is "starry"?

Made by Cassidy in March 2006.

I made this one for Patricia Parker who is in charge of Kids for Kids. That is the charity that uses the money I send to buy goats for kids in Sudan. Patricia said her favorite colors are blue and yellow, so I made the face blue and used my most special sparkly gold for the face and the embroidery.

This is me at the post office getting ready to mail starry to England where Patricia Parker lives.

UPDATE Patricia's cat, Ishtar, had kittens who were given as a wedding gift to friends. Patricia also gave them starry because "the little girl simply loved it and spent a great deal of time carrying it around!"

This is one of Ishtar's kittens playing with starry!

Where is "Happy Sad"?

I made this one special for Trisha, who also works at Soft Star Shoes - look at the comments to learn more about Happy Sad's life in Philomath, Oregon!

Where is "Silee Sad"?

On the other side there's a silly face - the side you're looking at is the sad face. I made this special for someone that works at Soft Star Shoes named Larkin in Corvallis, Oregon.
