toby's first birthday

by gl. at 12:16 pm

this should be the last toby post for a while, but i wanted to say that yesterday was toby's first "birthday"! yes, one year ago, on new year's day, i went to an old socks, new friends meetup. i almost didn't go because it was the day after new year's at night and i hadn't met anyone there and i can't sew, but a woman from that group had specially invited me and i thought it sounded like a grand idea. alas, i've never seen her again, but it was her socks that made toby who he is!

toby's name and personality formed almost as soon as i made him. i can hardly believe he has been such an influence at the studio. who knew i needed an irrepressible, enthusiastic alter ego with a loud british accent? thanks to everyone who tolerates and encourages our whimsy.

btw, he takes remarkably delicate bites for a creature with such a big mouth. :)

Happy Birthday, Toby! And really, your accent is hardly detectable on the net...

Happy Belated Birthday, Toby! I hope we do get to hear more about your exploits!

Cinnamon Bear wishes to express ferocious birthday felicitations to Toby, or rather he would, if he weren't in hibernation.

Funny. Cinnamon Bear is 32, yet he and Toby seem to be about the same size....
