Hello and welcome to Daisy-May Draws: Behind the Scenes Blog.
In this blog I will endeavour to share some of the highs and also some of the lows that happen here at DaisyMayDraws.
Enjoy,

Tea time with a touch of class 🍪☕
Captain Bulldog and his new Harrods bear friend are serving up the ultimate biscuit spread digestives, custard creams, and a proper brew from the old kettle.
The gingham tablecloth sets the scene for this plushie picnic perfection, where every dunk is a moment of pure British bliss.

In a world full of chaos, sometimes comfort comes in the softest forms for me, that’s Rags and Captain Bulldog. Rags has been with me since Christmas 2012, a heartfelt gift from one of my support workers.
He wasn’t just a plush; he became my ward companion. He sat with me during the darkest nights, through panic attacks, sadness, and uncertainty. And even now, as his fur grows tired and his stitches tell stories of love and wear, I adore him endlessly. He may not be as sprightly as he once was, but he still means the world to me. Rags is part of my heart.
The original Captain Bulldog went to heaven alongside my grandad. Years later, Captain Bulldog “Junior” found his way back into my life. A new companion, for a new chapter. Never a replacement. In my heart, Rags and Captain are equals. Each holds a unique, irreplaceable place in my story.
Captain arrived when I needed a different kind of strength. But the bond I share with Rags? That’s eternal.
They’ve both been there when the world felt too loud, too heavy. They’ve made me smile, made me feel safe, and reminded me that love doesn’t fade it deepens.
Could I ever choose a favourite? Never.
Rags and Captain Bulldog: They’re side by side, forever. 💛🐾
Hello lovely people. 😊
I was having a little scroll through some of my older content (as you do on a quiet afternoon), and I stumbled across this sweet video, one I’d almost forgotten about. It gave me such a warm feeling, I just had to share it again with you all!
So, here’s a little something to brighten up your day…
✨ From screen to reality… ✨
This is my original Rags’ teapot keyring brought to life.
💚💚💚
What started as a little doodle on my iPad became a real-life accessory, tangible, tiny, and full of character. I still remember how excited I was when the first batch arrived, seeing my drawing transformed into a little wooden keyring that jingled just right.
This green version features Rags’ home. The whimsical teapot he lives in, and it’s also available in a pink ‘Patches’ variant. Both designs hold a special place in my heart.
If you’re into quirky accessories or just love a good character story, these keyrings are a little piece of that creative journey.
