Lets get busy!

Hi, just letting you know that I'm still here!! Been quite busy with family birthdays and housey stuff but the bear creating is still going on in the background. I'm playing around with a new design and will show the finished bears when I'm done tweaking. It's almost like I can't even stop to catch my breath because I'm so focussed on getting my pattern right. Ooh I love it when I get into a creative whizz , because it feels just like that - a whizz, instead of the creative quagmire that I sometimes find myself wading through when I can't muster up any new ideas and feel unable to make even the most simple decision . So while I'm in this mood I'll crack on !!
Back with pics soon, have a great weekend x

Best Friends Part Two.

Yes I know it's been a long time in between posts but there is so much to distract me at the moment!! The lure of a sunny day is far too tempting for me and I find myself in the outdoors exploring the beautiful country walks nearby, needless to say my plans for the new workroom have been dragged out and I'm eager to get it finished, so please pray for rain then I can get back to completing it!!

These are some of the pics from my walks , the two best friends are my godson and stepson, Shea and Sam , two cuties!!

Best Friends Part One.

I've finally finished my little bear, no name yet but I've got my thinking cap on, I've been really busy lately and don't have time to write much but hope you enjoy the pics x

Back Soon.

Just a quick post to let you know what I have been doing. I haven't yet finished my little pink bear but that's not because I'm the slowest bear maker in the world , it's because I've been painting my work room. I was supposed to be rearranging and reorganising it - not being able to find stuff was driving me mad. So I emptied the room and then decided on impulse to paint over the nauseating yellow with a lovely calming shade of duck egg and white. I'm pleased with the results and can't wait to get started in there, just got to organise my stash now! Pics of the new bear coming soon .

Oh for the love of pink!!

I currently have a thing for pink at the moment!! The long dark winter and sombre colours that I've been wearing are now a thing of the past and I'm surging ahead with new designs all with a frisson of the said pinkness!!

It's amazing how this rosy colour has an effect on my mood, some shades of pink actually make me smile, especially the colour of these teeny legs!!!

April.

Hi all, I've been busy creating a new pattern for my mini bears and April has been made from the first draft. I'm pleased with the way she turned out , just needed to make a few alterations to the pattern .She's made with sassy fabric which I've never tried before. I love it!!

Spring is on it's way now and I'm feeling the benefit of the odd ray of sun by getting out in the garden and preparing the beds for summer flowers and the odd bit of veg. I've got big plans for my garden this summer, I'm ashamed to say it's been neglected for too long and desperately needs some love so I'm off to my local garden centre for some bits and pieces today. Ta ta for now x.

Mini Obsession!!

Hello, sorry it's been a while since my last post, I have been busy I promise you! I've been totally self indulgent and made a bear just for me!! You see I made a very teeny bear a few weeks ago that went along to a local shop with some others on SOR. I didn't expect him to go but he sold straight away , it was only then that I realised how much I really liked this little bear! To make things worse I didn't even get a photo of him. To stop myself from whingeing I've made myself one to keep! He's cute but not quite as cute as the one that got away!

Freddy is my first attempt at using American upholstery fabric , it's a short pile one so my stitches had to be smaller than small but I like the way he turned out. I gave him a wobble head and aged his paw pads to make him old and loved. Hope you like him x.
