Mr Mustard

One of the things I love about music is how suddenly a song or a need to listen to a certain song or album comes into your brain.
Late Monday night all of a sudden I found myself singing " you never give me your money" by beatles. i scoured my brain to remember it was in Abbey Road and put it on. It was just what i was in the mood for and it was almost like listening to it for the first time, except I knew all the words.
I can't remember the last time i listened to Abbey Road and i love the way so often my mind will know exactly what i'm in the mood for without me really knowing.
So im subsequently have been having a bit of a love with Abbey Road.
Including " Mean Mr Mustard". Which is perhaps was the inspiration behind naming my lastest bear Mr Mustard. Although he is not mean ( a tad simple I think) he doesn't sleep in the park or shave in the dark- i doubt he even shaves but I think he might like to save paper.



My Mr Mustard is the kind of beer that is big into BBQ's and thongs and has a "kiss the cook" apron ( currently in the wash). He likes root bear more than proper beer however.
Mr Mustard is also a member of the beginning to be long line of Pancake Family. he is Kermit and Howie's uncle.

Eeeek! Jess he's totally amazing... but I think I might be able to replace that apron if you could possibly tell me what size to make it?

Have just seen the post on Cam's blog and had to pop over and visit Mr Mustard in person. He's very sweet and I hope he likes his new apron... :)

Such a cute teddy bear. Unique in design and somehow it portrays some kind of an awesomeness. :)
