'Hello everyone, It's me again, little bear,look at my foot!'



'I had to pick my own color to mend my foot. And I was very brave so I got this yummie cookie!'

Little Bear

Three Bears and....

There once were, Er waren eens.... three bears.... (There are more in my collection to show another time)



I love the fairy of the three bears. And a little while ago I finished this stitchery. I found an old frame in the vintage store and framed it. (that's why the picture is shimmering)



I bought this beautifull pattern (from 'the prairie schooler') in the most georgeous little stitchery store there was; Keeping Tradition in Antwerpen.



We often went to Antwerpen in Belgium and visited this store. But then suddenly it was gone... I searched on the net to find its new adress, but did not find it.



As you can see down here it did sell georgeous things and patterns. If annyone could tell me if still exists? that would be great!

And...
It's great to get inspired on the net! You see something and think; whauw, I want to make that too! And with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and a little bit of those you have a whole new design!
That's the way it's supose to go, Right? Well not always, My sisters tea-cosy (the one we sell in our shop) has been copied exactly (if it is for yourself only..ok..but you would not think to sell someone else idea!)! Whitout a question or little notice, or giving it a new twist.

I know it happens more often, I think it's cheap and unscrupulous and shows no creativity!

Have a great and creative weekend everyone!

Happy new Year!

First of all, I wish everyone a creative, healthy and great blog-year!
It was a whole new world I discovered since I started blogging.


This free week I was going through one of my boxes and found this pattern. The pattern of tiny bear. A little hand bear.
I bought the pattern about 10 years ago in a little store.
I made the bear for my son, and it has been in his bed ever since. (as you can see)


He used to put his hand in it and talk and talk and talk with Tiny bear!

Now I found this pattern again I couldn't resist making a new one...

And after this one I had to make a whole family! They are so cute to hold in your hand.

It's made from 100% cotton soft teddy.


Maybe I'll try to make them from other fabrics as wel?.
