Description
Derek is an UM. Some people think that UM's are named because you can hug um and squeeze um and call um your own but it really just means um, nothing more, as in "um, where did I leave my ....."
<br />
<br />You see UMs tend to have magpie tendancies and Derek has a particular thing for puzzle pieces, especially ludo pieces and any jigsaw pieces featuring a thatched roof, so if you've ever said "Um, where did I leave my ...." you were actually asking an UM where you left it and if he had taken it. It goes back thousands and thousands of years and nobody really knows where it came from or when we forgot that we were talking to UMs and just thought um was a random word, but now you know. See, fun and educational!
<br />
<br />Derek is handcut and stitched (and he gave off stink) in polycotton (he's not a fan of wrinkles) and his features are hand cut and stitched using wool felt. He's stuffed with safety standard fibrefill and he stands 8 inches tall.
<br />
<br />Derek will arrive with his green tutu, it's the pride of his collection and he went 3 rounds with a barbie doll for it and now he and the tutu can't be parted.
