Please meet Dolly.


As you can see she is a little shy! I made her at the end of June and she was by request. She needed to have a school uniform, shorts and t-shirt pyjamas and hat, glove and scarf oh and shoes.



Here she is in her school uniform!



So once all her kits was made it was time for her to go off on her travels. I got a box for her but to start with she wasn't so keen!


I think she was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a blanket in there!! But I had a little chat with her and explained that she really needed to go to her new owner and that this box was the quickes way and she agreed to get in :) She even posed for a couple of pictures before she went off.


I've just been looking through some old photo's of projects that I've completed and realised that I hadn't shown you any of my Dolly's.

I think i need to get some pictures together and tell you a story :)
Wow what a break!!

At the end of the summer my mojo left :( things got busy in my work life (I now have two jobs) and my down time was greatly reduced.

I really struggled to find quality time to pick up the pins so I had a complete rest.

But last week totally out of the blue mojo returned - a bit shaky but its come back so hopefully the teddies will come again.

I have just completed Snowy who is getting ready for his life changing trip to the other side of the world, he is taking some christmas gifts with him as a little surprise for his new mum.

I also have an order for a bear for christmas so hopefully I will get him finished soon, and I picked up an order for another bear but not needed until March 2010.

So I'm hoping that Im all rested and the pins will be clicking happily again :)

Tiny Tim



Not sure if I posted a picture of Tim, but I thought I would put this one up as it shows how small he is.

Just an update on some of the bears - Goldie Bear and Uppy Bear have gone for a stay at the shop to see if they can find homes.

Goldie is looking for somewhere that he can just lay about as he's a little lazy and Uppy is desperate for someone to pick him up. When I left the shop he was standing with his arms up pleading for a cuddle.

It was diffcult to leave him but hopefully it shouldn't be long before he finds what he's looking for.
Well Blanket 3 is now complete - that one is for my DD. I'll add pictures laters.


Here is the picture as promised :)

Well I've had a bit of a break from making bear as Ive been knitting very big blankets, my DS nicked the first one which then started a war between DD and OH so I have knitted them both a blanket and now I want one - so just one more to go and then hopefully never knitting anything in foxy again!!


I think its back to bears now and a friend has said they may have some contacts which may be useful for selling them.

I also have some other things in my head which I may have to give in to and have a go at knitting (but they are all experimental).
