German Children’s Favourite Imp

is called Pumuckl. He comes from a long line of seafaring forebears but has for the time being settled in Munich in the workshop of a carpenter.

He has lived through various mediums over the last 60 years: children’s books, radio serialisaton, long playing records and music tapes, a tv series, a muscial, and now, apparently, crochet.

PS: In Germany it is has been judicially forbidden that parents name their child Pumuckl. Regardless of their hair colour.

PPS: Yes, I did crochet this doll and another one for two of our grandchildren.

A Tale of Two Toys

Moritz and Max are an inseparable unit since they met each other on a day long hike through the mountains. Ever since they try to recreate this first magic encounter.

Last weekend the glorious sunshine beckoned them on another exploit.

Over hedge and ditch, over hill and dale, over rough and smooth they went.

Climbing high into the mountains.

And ending their day in the sparkling waters at the bottom of the valley.

Tired and happy after frolicking in the sand, they think of their next adventure together.
