One day, Arthur wants to be a Pirate.
Even though the other silly, nasty, Pirates laugh at him.
" You won't be tough enough to sail with us, if you likes a little cuddly fish - you daft bugger " said the nasty Pirates.
" You'll see " says Arthur " You just wait until I'm a big boy ".
Lynn, you are amazing. I'll be waiting for Arthur to set sail.

Arthur has the best pirate teeth ever, I'm sure one day all the nasty pirates will be scared of him. Your work is fantastic.

Dearest Arthur,
don't stay with those nasty, foulmouthed pirates! Come, stay with me! Many, many cuddles are waiting for you!
Love,

I think Arthur is going to prove them all wrong! Arthur, King of Pirates - he's gorgeous.

Poor Arthur, you'll have to make those nasty pirates walk the plank!
Fab creations as ever Mrs Chicken!
Posted by: Sarah | March 28, 2007 at 08:44 AM
Aww... He's the cutest & sweetest pirate I've ever known..
Posted by: Fiona | March 28, 2007 at 12:03 PM
The teeth and the hat make it for me, oh and not forgetting Finlay of course!! They're adorable.

I don't know what I love more, your gorgeous creations or the little stories that go with them! Such a delight!

;D

But you see I think Arthur probably IS a bit naughty himself. And that's why all the girls love him. Especially his cheeky grin. Go Yo Ho Ho Arthur!
Posted by: Lucy | March 28, 2007 at 02:45 PM
you'll show them arthur! you'll be the roughest and toughest of them all! (and yet somehow you will still manage to be cute and cuddly).

I'm sure Arthur will give Capt Jack Sparrow a run for his money when he's a big boy.
Posted by: carolyn | March 28, 2007 at 05:15 PM
He's soooo cute!
Posted by: Angelique | March 28, 2007 at 06:01 PM
So cute! Love his wee hat with the tassels. Another lovely creature.
Posted by: Claire | March 28, 2007 at 06:27 PM
I reckon Arthur might have them all fooled - he has the look of a serious Chocolate-Biscuit-Privateer.
Gorgeous as ever, Mrs Chicken!

Gaa! Lynn, that does it. I'm very sorry, but I am going to have to kidnap you and hold you and all your adorable creations hostage. No ransom. All mine. Arthur and his wee fishy and all the rest. I'm stocking up on wine and fabric now.
Posted by: Peggy | March 28, 2007 at 10:16 PM
OK, that kidnapping thing was a tad extreme. Sorry. Hope I didn't scare you. I think it might have been Arthur's tiny sailboat-embellished sweater that tipped me over the edge. I'll just go take my meds now, shall I?
Posted by: Peggy | March 28, 2007 at 10:19 PM
Arthur needs to pal up with Peter Pan and lick those rowdy pirates into shape. I do hope Fish is a pet and not a midnight snack to keep Arthur going while lying in wait for the dirty seadogs!
Keep up the great stories!!!!!!!!!

love your work,

Arthur rocks! And so does Finlay... Fantastic as ever.
Posted by: Nicky Fraser | March 29, 2007 at 10:55 AM
arrgh this is so cute it hurts!
Posted by: samantha | March 29, 2007 at 11:52 AM
the last photo of arthur in his hat warms the cockles of my heart.
Posted by: lisa | March 29, 2007 at 06:56 PM
Arthur's hat is awesome!
Posted by: Oiyi | March 29, 2007 at 10:09 PM
You must be the best storyteller...love the little fish :)
Posted by: quenna | March 29, 2007 at 10:59 PM
I love love love Arthur and the little fish. If Arthur ever needs a little Aran sweater to warm him on the high seas, I'd be more than happy to knit one up for him :) The teeth are perfect!
Posted by: Bea Apple | March 30, 2007 at 12:18 AM
those teeth are the most hilarious thing! Very cute.
Posted by: amy | March 30, 2007 at 12:58 AM
Me want, me want! If you find that you have had an intruder, and only Arthur and Finlay have disappeared, they will more than likely be in their new home in Dubai, having made it past the VERY nasty pirates in the Arabian Gulf.
