Hanging Teddy Out to Dry

I've been having a massive cleaning, tidying and reorganising purge in the house.  I really want to get the place in order before I return to work in September and before my son goes off to University (sob!)

He gave me his old toy bear to wash.  I hung it out on the washing line pegged by its ears but was perturbed to see it there, hanging unsupported.  I quickly took my dressing gown belt and fashioned a little swing seat for old bear.  He looks much happier now!

  1. Ha, ha, ha that is funny, mind you it always seems cruel to hang teddy up by his ears so the swing is a great idea! Is teddy off to uni too?

  14. Cuddly toys can look so forlorn when they are hanging out to dry, I think you do the right thing by making him a little more comfortable.
    I hope all goes well for you both come September.
