Now and again, I enjoy a little raggy doll making, so for a change, I thought I'd share a pic of my 2009 Halloween Witchypoo's with you.
From left to right we have:
Hatty Halfwitch - she hasn't yet passed her full 'Pointy Hat Certification', so couldn't fly with the other witches, instead she had to be home by 11pm on All Hallowes Even to feed the cat.
Wisteria Witchelt - she's Hatty's 'bezzy mate' at Witchypoo school and together they cause poor old Witch Hazel all kinds of trouble in spelling lessons!
Witch Hazel - A green-fingered witch, charged with using a little hocum pocum magic to take care of the woodland. She's also the Witchypoo School Tutor and tries her best to help Hatty and Wisteria become good witches, but so far, they are haven't managed to pass their spelling exams, so have to remain Witchlets until they take their tests again next Halloween!
Faux Paw Bears
Three thumbs up! one for each Paula. They are adorable...reminds me of my witch cat era. 
Creativity will out!
Have you noticed you start to 'think' in witchypoo terms during the sewing process? How else could you possibly create such darlings without communing in their lingo. 
The story and the character go hand in hand...and imparts to them a little life all their own.

The Littlest ThistleROFL, love the stories that go with them
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
Thanks everyone, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the Witchypoos - they were a lot of fun to make! The little stories just seem to conjure themselves up as I work and the witches chat to me! 
Melissa, I am hoping to have a couple of Christmas raggies available from Santa's Sack (coming soon on my website) but I'm pressed for time, so not absolutely certain I'll have them finished in time ... my fingers and toes are crossed! :pray:

I know what you mean about pressed for time!! I'm working on Christmas bears now and hope to get them finished in time. If you do get time I'd love to purchase one for Caitlin my daughter.

Love them! I want Witch Hazel please!!
Hi Paula
They are great! I totally understand your love of Raggedy dolls. I lmake Raggedy Anns occasionally- my mother (now passed away) made me a lovely Raggedy Ann when I was 9 years old and like teddies, I don't think you ever outgrow them. They bring back so many childhood memories.
Regards
Sue
