Mr. Toastee at Maker Faire

Whew! Mr. Toastee and I have been traveling all over the place lately! We recently returned from Maker Faire in California....what an experience that was! We had such a good time with our fellow Plush Teamers and made some new friends too!

Mr. Toastee's favorite part of Maker Faire was the food...he loved the Gumbo!


And look! He was so excited that his brothers and sisters were getting adopted at the Plush Team's booth:

Mr. Toastee helps at Winefest!

Last year, Mr. Toastee was lucky enough to be able to help Stacie S. at the North East Wine Fest at Heritage Wine Cellars. He was able to help because he is over the legal drinking age for toast!

Wow! I didn't know that he could drive one of these! Look at him moving the wine:

Even though he has no hands, he helped put labels on the wine bottles:

Nice Job!

And, after a long, hard day of work, he was able to enjoy a little wine himself ^_^

Happy New year! We are tired of snow!!!

Mr. Toastee and I just got back from our Holiday vacation. We had a lot of fun and got to see lots of family and friends! We drove to Cranberry, PA, then to Wheeling, WV, then back to Cranberry, PA, then up to Erie, Pa, and then all the way back home. That's a lot of driving...and Mr. Toastee didn't help at all!!

Here he is trying to help out with the holiday decorations:


And look! He made a new friend in Erie:

He also tried some Local Erie brews...yum!

It was a little too cold and snowy to drink them outside!

Mr. Toastee was hiding in my footprints in the snow:

Note to self...when traveling to Erie in January, don't bring clogs. Be sure to back proper boots!!

After all the fun in the snow, Mr. Toastee warmed up with Max E. Pad the cat:


Mr Toastee was super excited that my parents got me this new Tokidoki purse for Christmas because it has enough room inside for him to tag along with me everywhere!

FYI - an exclusive, Limited Edition Mr. Toastee plush will be debuting at Schmancy on Jan 20th...stay tuned for details!!!

Keeping Toastee in the Snow

Well, this weekend we got hit with the big snowstorm in the North East US. We got more snow this weekend than we usually do in an entire winter! Mr. Toastee was so excited to see snow falling on Saturday morning, that he put his Cincinnati Bengals scarf on and ran outside....and got buried in the snow ^_^
Since it was snowing so much and my car was pretty much buried, we decided to stay home and do some baking:

Mr. Toastee was a big help. He was in charge of the recipe:

We made a TON of cookies:

Sunday morning, the sun was out and the snow finally stopped. We dug out the cards and made snow angels and snow toastees in the snow ^_^

Deck the halls with Mr. Toastee

Woohoo! It's the weekend after Thanksgiving! Do you know what that means? I can decorate the house for the holidays! I was in such a festive mood that I listed a whole bunch of holiday Toastees in my etsy shop, including some super cute ornaments! Fa la la la la la la la la!

A Toast to Mr. Toastee

Because he did such a great job as ringbearer at Ross and Andrea's wedding, Eric and Katie were kind enough to ask Mr. Toastee to be the ringbearer at their wedding as well! It was a beautiful wedding, the bride and groom looked fabulous, new friends were made, and a good time was had by all!

Here is Mr. Toastee checking out the decorations at our table:

S'more Toastee fun in Maine

After all the outdoor fun Mr. Toastee and Sir Francis had with Katie and Eric, it was time to just hang out and make some of their favorite treats....s'mores!

Looks like they got a little confused while making s'mores. You're supposed to toast the marshmallows, n0t the Toastee!!

But don't worry - no Toastees were harmed ^_^

Mr. Toastee should know better....if you play with fire, you're gonna pee the bed!

Sir Francis and Mr Toasee did eventually make real s'mores and eat them ^_^

After partaking in delicious s'mores, they enjoyed the second book from the Dark Tower series...oh Roland!

Looks like they had a lot of fun up in Maine! Mr. Toastee and Sir Francis really hope Katie and Eric will take them up again sometime!
