I always have fluff stuck to my clothes

About Me

Hello there!. Welcome to the wonderful world of Chris. I make one off teddy bears under the name Bear Army, they take a long time to make but I love them very much. You can see them all at www.beararmy.co.uk I have also created my own little race of creatures called the Dweeblings, of whom I make paintings depicting their various adventures. I don't go out that much, so I make stuff instead. I have an unfeasably large collection of toys, my Nephews have this strange idea that you are supposed to play with them. I don't get it myself though. PS I'm also a pretty mean knitter!
