Hello...
It's so lovely to be back here in our little space and oh my, how the time has just flown by...
can we really be in July? ...It seems the answer is a resounding... yes!
I've been completely absorbed in making...pattern writing...taking photos...
and in between enjoying some much needed house decorating...
and it feels good to gradually be seeing more freshly painted white walls
♥ ♥ ♥
...and so...
I have 2 new little people with me...,sitting up there on my desk...
...2 new TEAROOM knitting patterns...
available as single patterns or a 2 pattern deal
(they've spent a serious amount of the time with me in recent weeks
and not surprisingly are extremely impatient to find some alternative company ;-) )
A TEAROOM Boy and Girl Bear
Honey-coloured small alpaca bears with soft ears
wearing Mary Jane Shoes and Bear Boots
Made using 3 shades of alpaca DK and with minimal sewing
(both body and clothes are seamless) and with easy to apply yarn eyes
If anyone would like to make a little bear they are now available to be
(there will be the alternative method as requested too and I'll now update here on progress as I work.
I considered releasing both versions at the same time but thought I may end up a little dizzy
going round and round and back and forth!)
♥ ♥ ♥
Thank you so much to everyone who left such kind comments, shared and messaged on Facebook yesterday
...it seemed so long since I had posted I thought my page may have disappeared into the vapour.....
but it turned out to be an overwhelmingly lovely afternoon x
Thank you too for the emails asking where I might be...
I'm definitely here and have ...ooh...sooo many plans...all whirling around in my head...
..a few more hours in the day would be most welcome too though..
(I think I'm always going to feel like the white rabbit but I'll happily live with it now ;-) )
Well, I'm planning a quiet weekend with some knitting, crochet and lots of tea..
...it's too wet for the garden as we've had so much rain...
I may even manage to take some pics of recent projects and good books bought recently
(I need to show some restraint though as I'm definitely running out of shelf space around here!)
Wishing you a lovely weekend
and a new week full of all good things
Back soon

They are absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you Deb...hope you're having a lovely weekend ♥ ..xx
DeleteAbsolutely darling. You are a master of the details, and I love your idea of crocheting and TEA! Our summer turned cool and I think tea has to be added into the plan for our day! Love seeing you again!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Anita...are you blogging again?...I hope so...will be coming to find you! ;-) ..xxxx
DeleteHello Susan - it is really so good to see you back again!!
ReplyDeleteAren't those little bears just the prettiest bears around?! I loved the photograph of the bear ear - really so detailed, but so delicate, too.
Hope you are managing a lot of knitting and crochet this wet and unsettled weekend - sometimes, it's just really nice to admire the garden from a comfortable chair and not feel guilty about the weeding!
Have a lovely new week!
Lynda.
Thank you so much Lynda...and for the comment about my little bear ears too (as I'm very particular about ears! :D) ...and the one thing about all the rain is the garden is beautiful and green!..x

ReplyDeleteJulie xxxxx
Thank you Julie...have a lovely Sunday ♥ x
DeleteOh, the ears on that teddy bear are sooooooo well made but also very CUTE! I love the ears on animals, some of them being so silly, floppy, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you dearest Susan for coming to my blog! Enjoy a lovely day! Anita
Such a lovely post dear Anita... ;-) ♥..x
DeleteIt's a delight to see this post and discover those two little bears!
ReplyDeleteHow clever you are to design them in a way that does not involve sewing. The duo have such charm, and their outfits certainly add to the appeal. As a knitter myself, I can really appreciate the thought, skill, and talent that went into creating them.
I would expect that lots of folks are going to want to follow your instructions, and that quite a few little bears are going to appearing by December 25. Some lucky little children are in for a treat!
