tell us a story, old bear ....

i recently found an old friend again. well ok, he's not that old - i made him when i was around 8. i cant have been older then eight because my friend just turned 9 when i finished him ...



here is the book i poured over, then my mum bought me the yellow fur and i gave him life !



he is a bit flat, and lumpy. please don't mention that one arm is bigger than the other. i haven't told him. and i have forgotten his name. do you know?

sewing session ...

and i dont mean me, either ...
here is three year old matty, busy sewing up felt shapes, and the odd bit of ribbon ...



and daisy, making a rat with a pink tail and a long leg ...



the white rat held out for me to take a picture of it ...



and a felt rabit made by mya, using a pattern from my vintage sewing book, and with a little help from nisa and her mummy ...
