Back to Bears!!!

After a long break away from making bears, I have picked up needle and thread and started stitching again. The slow process of the teeny tiny hand stitches and the soft silken mohair is what I have missed. The delight of seeing a little character's face take form is not something that I can forget and so it is with excitement that I start over with new bears!

     Introducing Sylvie

One of the last bears I made before my break.

I think she needs a companion!

She's a diminutive 5" small with her own special outfit made by me.

Please feel free to comment, it's kind of lonely here at the moment!

                                                                                                                                                                             

Summer Blossom

To celebrate the fabulous summer weather that we've been having here in the UK I've made a cute little pink bear called Summer Blossom. 4 1/2" of cuteness with some pretty pink flowers in her hair, just what I needed to kick start my summer bear making! Go to my Etsy shop for more pics, I'm sure she'd welcome a visit!

Unfinished Business.

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm still here and having fun making my wee bears. This latest one was started last year when I went to France. I had almost completed her and somehow she must have been put away and forgotton about! I don't know why or how I managed to forget about something as sweet as her but I did!

I have a plethora of unfinished projects in my past but never never any bears! What was I thinking?

Anyway she was worth the wait and when I look at her now I'm reminded of hot summer lazy French days sat by the lake where we stayed, sewing and soaking up the sun.

Oooh how I wish I was there right now, the weather here is turning cold again and spring still feels so far away, but I'm not going to let that stop me working on some spring projects.

I'm working on a new bear design, it'll be another wee one and maybe I'll have some sneak peek pics later on this week.

Hello

It's been a while since I last looked in and today I pay a visit and notice that people are still visiting this blog. I read through some of the posts and I can honestly say that I have missed this place. How strange!
I've decided to start blogging over here again so look out for some more posts and pics real soon.

Back Home.

Well I'm back with batteries recharged and my creative head swimming with ideas. I had a great time with my sister and only wish that I could go and visit more often , but now that I've conquered my fear of long drives then maybe I will!
The journey down there was going well until a trucker drifted into my lane forcing me to swerve, narrowly missing the central reservation and sending my pulse rate off the scale! It was scarey but I just carried on as I had no choice. It hasn't put me off because I think that I reacted to the situation well enough to avoid a collision - I was in control even if the crazy trucker wasn't!
I didn't get any decent pics while I was in Dorset because I kept forgetting to take my camera when we went out, so no photos I'm afraid.
Hope it's a great weekend for everyone x

Dorset Days.

Just a quick one, I'm off to to visit my sister who lives on the beautiful Dorset coast. Can't wait , I always come back with my batteries recharged feeling totally refreshed. The only downside is that I'm driving down there on my own :-( This is a big step for me as I had a car crash a few years ago ( I was driving ) I've been a very cautious driver ever since....................
Wish me luck it, feels like I'm going on an adventure, better go now, gotta check my tyre pressure. Ta ta for now !

Miss Polly.

Hello , thought you might like to meet my latest mini bear. She's 5" small and a mischievous little madam. Don't tell her I told you but she "borrowed" those pearls from her Mother, you'd never know by that innocent expression on her face. Oh Polly what will we do with you!

She's available now from my Etsy shop, and she'd love you to pay her a visit.
