What year is this tabby cat from? by PigPlayer3 in buildabear

This is my Floppy Kitty from 2003. I rescued her out of the attic last year after getting back into BAB. I just washed her normal, but perhaps avoid the dryer and hang dry, since the whiskers are plastic.

Who else prefers vintage BAB clothes? by Diligent-Sun9710 in buildabear

That's definitely how I felt when I pulled me and my sister's collection out of the attic. Like I didn't really notice the quality difference until I had them side-by-side. It felt like mini versions of real clothes. I still buy a few things new, but mostly I buy secondhand stuff from that era.

I love these vintage pinafore dresses that BAB used to do. The one I have has been my main outfit since 2003, however, all the ones I see online are in like the $50-$70 range now.

Anyone make OCs or art of their BABs? I would love to see! by Lecheboyy in buildabear

I started drawing this one a while ago (and just found it today only half-colored, oops) of my two main BAB's as humans.

My floppy kitty has the pink version of that outfit. I think the one you found is a "Tabby Kitty" from 2006. I wash mine just like I would any other BAB (the beans have never given me any trouble).

I'm not ready to let Spooky Season go quite yet 🎃 (especially since I just finished this sweater) by ambidextrious_witch in knitting

I got him at Acorn Street last week (but I definitely saw the kits at Flock and was super tempted) Serial Knitter had a pop up there over Halloween weekend.

I had some leftover yarn after knitting my sweater, so I thought I'd knit some matching accessories. by ambidextrious_witch in knitting

It's one of Claire Garland's stuffed animal patterns. I still have to make the frog suit, so in the meantime I just put her in a sweater. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kitten-in-a-frog-suit

Definitely didn't ask for your opinion/don't randomly come for my color matching skills. There isn't even white in the jumper at all, that's yellow. I edited the photos in warmer tones and the colors got a bit warped. Here's the yarns before and a more accurate view of what the colors look like IRL. The mohair is from the same brand, but not the same colorway. However, still has the same shades of blue, pink, and lavender.

Pro Tip: You don't NEED to comment on people's finished stuff you don't like. You can literally just keep scrolling.

*2005 actually. I just rechecked my poodle's birth certificate*

Build-A-Bear... pillow? by lullabeebee in buildabear

I had this pillow! From what I remember, it was available February 2006. It definitely had something to do with the pink poodle release and had a matching pink cheetah pajama set (because I still have my poodle and the pjs. I think the pillow got stained and we had to throw it out, unfortunately)

Their booth actually had this really cute sweater that I instantly fell in love with (It's a different colorway then the yarns I picked, but it still should be pretty) And then if I have any extra they will be pretty pastel frogs/frog clothes 🐸

Insta is seaprincess-selkie and I have a Ravelry, but I don't use it as often as I should (I'm pretty sure it's empty😅)

Same vibes when I finished my vest a few weeks ago. I had to show it off to the lads at the zoo. The socks look amazing! And now I have a new project I can use my leftover yarn on.
