Hi Jesse,

Thanks for stopping by, and for your compliment. I’ll pass it along to Nigel – I’m sure he’ll appreciate it!

Best wishes,
Tanya

This is quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen in my twenty-three years on this earth….I want one so badly. He should totally get an etsy account.

I am a 20 year old college student in search of some activities to do with a pre-teen I work with at a summer camp in Cincinnati, OH…I just wanted to share with you the amount of happiness you just gave me by sharing such a silly, genuinely creative story. I LOVE THIS! I’m addicted to your blog!

I don’t know what a “chimera” is, but I gather it is a mythical, symbolic creature of one’s personal design and reason? I am always proud of my grandson Nigel, and this is most impressive on many levels. Since I am talented in sewing I’m going to believe he got those genes from me!! (heh-heh!) I notice in the photo lying behind him on the bed is the Mrs. Brisbee (is that the right name?) I made for him a few years ago, because we couldn’t find one in the stores and he wanted one. Hm-mmmm. I like this business idea….does he need a partner?

At first, I found the Chimera somewhat frightening, but he’s growing on me the more I look at him. I could see other kids really enjoying doing this, perhaps having gatherings where they can show off their new hybrid animals to each other. Very cool.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

M – I really like your lovely idea that Nigel’s creation is metaphor for his life. He put so much effort into it – and that’s what he does with everything in his life. Thank you for saying that.

Fearless – I will certainly propose to Nigel the business potential of this! That’s a great suggestion.

Jess – There are a few more pics of him in the “Family” category

Maddy – I will have to look into Spore; it sounds like something he would love!

That is just so priceless! It looks impressively constructed too! Has Nigel gotten even bigger since last month?! He was taller than me! :-O
