 ;D @ Postman Pat in girly wellies!
When you say Worzel Gummage, do you mean the traditional ones stuffed with straw?  The nearest I got to one of those is this one a few years ago

Betty, these scarecrows are wonderful.  Please keep posting pics - I've got a couple of old duvets and intend trying to make my own, using yours as inspiration!

Ray says when you've finished with 'peter kay/postman pat', can he have his clothes, they're better dresed than Ray  ;D
I think the baby is just having a 'poo'  ;D

Tracie made this earlier in the year, but I reckon it's too good to put down the allotment.[attachment=1]
can anyone guess what its component parts were? ;)

Outstanding!  :D

I don't find the massive baby all that scary, the fact that the romper suit appears to be nearly adult size is more disturbing! ;)  But, if you really want to freak me out, you'd need to construct a clown...

Now that's scary!  It is very well made, was it done with tights too?

This is one my grandsons made in 2006.  For those who don't recognise him, it's supposed to be Ronaldhino the Brazilian footballer.
