Alas, while I enjoy occasionally leaving my lil’ critters out for adoption, I get some where they seem to enter a twilight zone of no return. If I don’t hear back on the critter’s status after a couple of days, I consider them lost and possibly gone the way of the trash can. Here’s where I post up any of my lil’ buddies that have gone unheard from…until further notice, they’re considered lost to the great trash compactor in the sky. 😦 If you know of the whereabouts of any of these guys, let me know! 🙂

This is sad and kind of funny at the same time. 😦 Like a dark comedy!
I had to have some sort of remembrance for these poor lil’ dudes!
Nice Meeting you today! You have some really clever pieces! Let me know when you want to have your creations in Space Montrose! Leila
Thanks Leila! Lovely meeting you today too…it’s good to know that my critters would make the cut for Space! 🙂
P.S. The Adoption thing is awesome!
Awwww I wish I had known about your adoption last year I would have hunted the GoT critters with a vengeance giving them a wonderful home!!! I’ll be looking for your posts come this week!!! Love the critter adoption thing such a cool way to give back!
these make me ridiculously happy, and also sad. I hope they have nice lives. I think I will be spending too much time watching your hashtag this sdcc. This will be a definite comic con goal.
This is awesome!
Just came across your website (and then your fb page) via boredpanda. I absolutely love your idea of dropping them various places to be adopted. Wish we lived closer so that we could track one down (our 4yr daughter would be just as excited as us lol), but alas, the Midwest is a bit far.
OMG please send me one – I live in Vienna (Austria) and I would live to have one!!! 🙂
aaaah can you pleeeeeeaaase tell me where you get the patterns from!! I love them so much =D.
I love the idea. =)
i would love to have the pattern please send!!!!

This page makes me sad. 😕 I’ve been following and commenting on your Facebook as esteliel. 😊
Omg. Are any of these patterns available? The Ood is just the cutest thing ever!!!
Just a handful of patterns posted up on Ravelry (none for the superheroes) and the ones in my book!
