Handmade! Created for pattern / embroidery testing purposes.

Well...here it is. Most of the plushies I own, all in one convenient photograph!

The husky by Aurora in the lower left is one of my favorites...despite surviving a run through a wash and dry cycle with blankets, it's still one of the ones that I find comforting to sleep with at night.

The grey cat and pink bunny are both aliexpress finds...and I'm totally fawning over the style, even today...the cute goth stuff really speaks to me, aesthetically.

...The giant fox, also by Aurora, is a new addition, though I think it's gonna quickly become a night-time snuggle plush as well~

I feel I should post this here. This is King Purple Bunny in his crown (has since been slightly upgraded to one very similar but with more jewels), royal coat, medal, trophy, sceptre and royal carrot (has also been upgraded to a gold one). I'm fairly sure he's sitting on a throne but you can't see it.

He has an account on the Fediverse at @[email protected] but doesn't post much (the bunny in charge of it thinks it's too much admin, unless he is also able to post about himself).

My plushie friend has a birthday and I am running with it, he's getting a party! Kicks and his friends are gonna have fun celebrating today, I even have a little cupcake and candle for later!

We're having a meal together! I saw Vaporeon in the corner stand of a flea market, and decided to adopt them. Now they will have a place to call home again, and hugs too!

When you get your duck friend, you're supposed to whisper a cool name into their ear, and they'll be yours forever. I went with the name Foucault, after the creator of the Foucault Pendulum (Léon Foucault). A simple and elegant way to not only showcase the Earth's rotation, but also your approximate latitudinal location too (because the time it takes to complete a full rotation is influenced by your distance from the poles).

Anyway, science stuff aside my duck friend is incredibly soft, and has little beans in the bottom half so they can sit upright without having to balance them! I love giving them hugs and seeing them every day when I get back from work. Being that they are a tall and thin duck, I find them pretty difficult to photograph. Hopefully this side shot of them laying in bed is enough to showcase their cuteness!

Usually they come downstairs to listen to music with me while I eat breakfast. However, sometimes they want to sleep in.

Newest additions to my collection

Three WataYuri (My Job is Yuri) plushies stand in the back of a GochiUsa (Is the Order a Rabbit?) carabiner, WataOshi (I'm in Love with the Villainess) bookmarks, and boxed Yui Hirasawa plushie (K-On!).

I’ve had him since i was a baby. Very well loved too. He sits on my bed all cozy like and watching over me while a sleep!

Straight from "Yama no Susume" and other anime/manga - Yokan (adzuki bean jelly)

Sweet, mild, jelly-like with a slight graininess. Mild and mainly sweet. Not bad but not thrilling, but would make for good climbing or hiking rations.

Character: "What are you an old man?" Me: "No an old lady."

(The plushie is Anko from "Is the Order a Rabbit?"

My girls are ready to go see Tsukishiro Himari (Isiliel) at Neck in the Woods, San Francisco. They got the Wota bug from me. Concert Penlights in hand they are rearing to go.

In the fridge today to cool off a bit, here are my two plushie friends! Why two? Well let me tell you the story of how I got each:

I was shown this web series by the same name a while back by a friend and quite liked it, so when I eventually found out they made plushies of Chikn, I wanted one quite badly. Unfortunately, by the time I found out, they were already gone. I ended up waiting a few months, but after just figuring they were never coming back, I went to various websites and found a whole mountain of bootlegs. I figured what the heck, he looks a little silly but I will love him all the same!

Quite a few months passed after I got the first one and I ended up hearing that the original plushies were coming back too. So what did I do? I got another plushie of course as soon as I could! Now that I have both friends I kinda have the best of both worlds. The official plushie is one of the ones I handle sparingly and give little hugs, while the bootleg is one of my sleeping buddies!

The story behind this little guy is that a few friends and I went to a Toys-R-Us over 5 years ago, which was about to close down because of the bankruptcy. I found him on a fairly empty shelf staring me down with this amazing face, and knew immediately I wanted to bring them back home! Now I see Litten alongside their many other plushie pals every day, I'm glad I found them.

We had first flush Darjeeling today. Thank you Chiya for the wonderful cuppa.

I actually saw this adorable bean late last year and I absolutely had to get him! Maybe you are familiar with the Fundy, who is a Minecraft fox on the internet that codes up a bunch of silly things. I've watched a few of their vids, but really I just love this plush design, and I would've bought it anywhere I saw it.

I've had them for a few months now and I just absolutely adore their smile, and also just how much stuffing is in this plush omg. Soft but firm, I imagine I could squish him for ages and he'd spring right back instantly. Regardless, nothing but small hugs and boops from me (I'm too scared to accidentally hurt my babies lol).

I adopted this adorable octopus bunny at Anthrocon this year in their dealer's den! He's reversible, and the other side is a green/teal tie-die instead of the pink/blue in the image. Both sides have the same expression. My favorite part about him is the pearl beads for blushy cheeks!
