A bear with a heart

Hi Blog chums , hope you are all well

As many of you know it was Mothers Day yesterday , so I thought I would just pop by and show you what I'd made for my lovely Mum.

I had a go at making air dry clay hearts which are really easy and fun to do , I gave them a coat of paint in her favourite colour , which is green and prettied them up for her. I made the letters out of some beaded trim I had and glued them on, threaded some ribbon through to hang them with and made a quick pole from a couple of odd door knobs and a piece of dowling covered in ribbon, a few little flowers and we were finished .

 And of course she had seen some of my bears recently , so I had to create one especially for her in a very funky green eyelash wool I found .

Happy makings

they just keep going

So little Edith went off to her new home , shortly followed by Rosalie and now Petal .

Just when I thought it was going to be fun ,fun fun off they go , so what was I to do , well there was only one thing for it ......... and that was to make a new friend to join me in the crafting room .

Out came the crochet hook and yarn and after a little while the daddy of all my teddies was created .

Say hello to Edgar all dressed up and ready to keep me company , complete with his pocket watch (made from an old necklace and a tiny frame bought from the local bead stall) just to let me know its time for tea , his deep velvety cravat (that was an old dress of mine) and a knitted waistcoat that I made up as I was going along,

Hope you like him 

Happy makings

The one that nearly got away !!!!!

Hello to all my blog friends .
I have had a few computer problems this week so I have not been able to post as often as I promised myself I would do. The good news was that it gave me a little more time to get on with my latest project , which was another crocheted teddy bear , I used the same pattern as I did before (the link for the pattern  is on my previous post )only this time I tweeked it a little and used a chenille type eyelash yarn instead .

This one came out a little bigger than the last one , but he is extra soft and cuddly and stands approx 18" tall. The downside is that my grandaughter was staying with me this weekend and although she thought he looked funny as he didn't have any arms or legs attached when she arrived , things soon changed when she woke up to find him complete as you can see !!!!

I then spent the day trying to convince her that Rufus Ruffles (that's what I named him ) should stay with me , not an easy task as you can imagine.

They enjoyed their day together chatting and being the best of friends .

happy makings
