A New Bear

A new bear has joined the Rose Cottage Friends Family.  I finished making him/her just over a week ago now I think it was.

No name as yet, I seem to find it much harder to name things than I used to.

Currently borrowing an outfit I knitted for Martha Elephant last year.  I quite like this though, so the bear may get to keep it, unless I find my knitting mojo and make him/her their own outfit.

Making in May

Well I haven't been very good at blogging my daily makes, but I have managed to do them!

Day Three - Making in May

Today's make was this bear I made with calico type fabric my neighbour gave me.  His paws are made from a pair of my younger son's old jeans.  

Day Two: Making in May

I knitted a little doll.

Edward has claimed him for his own.

Edward is such a sweet boy.

He looks like he is on a mission!

Posing with his new doll.

A Very Creative April

A busy creative April.

I made:

Three dresses, one for Madeline, and two for Wren.

11 pairs of shorts for Gregor (two of which are for Henry, the rest will be going in my Etsy Shop when it reopens.  When that will be I don't know, it will be when it is safe to go to the Post Office, at present I am not allowed to as per my letter from the NHS, I can't go to any shops)

Four reversible waistcoats (again two for Henry)

One pair of shorts for Howard Bear.

16 Tiny Rag Dolls and numerous dresses, pantaloons and aprons for them. (Some of these will be going in my Etsy Shop when it re-opens)

Only 15 dolls here as one went to her new home, my neighbour, just after I made her.

One cat

One guinea pig

Four bears.

Timothy (in the middle) is the only one with a name yet.  The floral bear was made with a tea towel I had been keeping for 'something special' and is made from a pattern I used to use when I made soft toys to sell in my Dad's shop when I used to live in NZ.  I didn't have any fur fabric to make him with fur so thought it would be fun to try something different and was pleased with how he came out, especially as it has been over 25 years since I have used this pattern!

I especially love this little bear I finished today.  He has a certain air of innocence about him.

Next month I'd like to finish my Hitty I am carving...she has been sitting on my desk patiently waiting for me to finish her...  

I also need to make the dress for Caroline,  my Gail Wilson doll I made.

Creative 2020 - Week 3

Just managed to squeeze in one creative item this week...

A scarf for Peggy Sue.

Edited to add:

It is a nice fit and should keep her warm when she is out in the cold weather.

Creative 2020 - Week 2

I just haven't had the time to do any knitting or sewing over most of this past week, but did manage to make one item.

Peggy Sue found some material she really liked and asked if I would make her a dress out of it.

Naturally I said yes as it has been quite some time since I made her a new dress.

She seems very happy with it.

Creative 2020 - Week 1

I've decided I'm going to continue recording my creative endeavours on my blog for this year as well, as it was a good record of what I made last year.

So to round up Week One, I made some things for a Hitty Swap I am taking part in, so actually can't post pictures yet - just in case...so once I know that they have been received I will add the pictures to this post.
