The Bear Neccessities
I've not been very creative lately,
however, I did manage a few simple bears...
They are the first two easy bears from this book:
In 2012 I'll be giving an informal workshop
for some of the local ladies in the village
on very very simple bear making
(no joints, no separate limbs...!).
I also have plans to make at least one of the more advanced bears
for some of the local ladies in the village
on very very simple bear making
(no joints, no separate limbs...!).
I also have plans to make at least one of the more advanced bears
that I have made before for Baby-Kalico ...
But those jointed bears will have to wait
as I have other more precious things
to spend my limited time on:
Seasons Greetings to one and all,
May 2012 be inspirational, creative,
but most importantly
May it be filled with love!

Garden Friends
I found some more entries for the Village show today - in the garden...
There's a pincushion section so I made LadyB:
And there's a section for handicraft not mentioned in any other section...
Ted has volunteered to go for me:
I made Ted quite some time ago, when I was recovering from a second bout of corrective surgery on my femur.
I broke my femur when I had a bicycle accident in Germany. An unsuccessful surgical procedure by an inexperienced doctor left me with a shorter, oddly angled leg! I had to wait 6 months after the initial botched surgery for the leg to be unpinned, the knee had to be operated on at the same time to correct the angle. 18 months later the knee plate was removed and the leg was lengthened at the top of the femur. After that second operation I spent some weeks recuperating at an othopaedic rehabilitation centre in in the Black Forest in Germany. My days were filled with physio, swimming, massage for pain relief etc and in the evenings you could do craft. I signed up for Teddy Bear making. I made Ted and then when I went home I made another bear for my friend's daughter, Skye. After that I made 2 more and then that was it... no more bears :-(
Kerry who gives teddy bear classes asked me to show Ted, and this week was quite fitting to remember making him as I saw a specialist yesterday about trying to relieve some of the pain I still feel in my leg. We shall see how things progress on that...
BTW My pie has just come out of the oven for tomorrow, I went a little OTT decorating it LOL - nerves I tell you!!
