My new pattern

I am a big fan of vintage teddies as you might suspect. Especially the flat ones that are so typical, and I tried to make one now, I am glad with the way he turned out.
Please have a look, and let me know what you think?
The bigger one in the top picture is one of my examples. :)

And more doll's, and a fabric basket

This is realy addictive.

custom order

I did 2 remakes of previous bears and here they are.
They will be living in Switzerland :)

Happy Easter

crochet and some new critters

love to crochet dresses for my bears.
I never work with a pattern, just begin with a circle and move on,increase decrease, double crochet , single crochet is all you need to know. And crochet as you go :)
Then I try it on the bears, and then I can make a bear of the same pattern,in the right colour to match this dress.

Tattum and Witte, where  my models here. Tomorrow Tattum travels to Austria, but now I know, that I can use his pattern to fit this dress.

And Witte is still looking for a home to stay, she is not yet adopted, such a sweet kitten .

Some of my newest critters, I hope they will accompany me to Brighton next weekend

and some new earrings

I have done some stitching yesterday

Last week I ordered this book on Amazon.fr (free shipping to Belgium!)  :)

here is the link
Such an inspiring book, I couldn't wait to make some stitches.
I often take my I pod with me when walking the dog, or riding on my bike, to listen to audiobooks.
and I made a pouch to handg round my neck, to hold my I pod, while listening.
Here it is,

I know it's a little bit over the top, overworked, but I see it as a stitching practice project. Could not resist adding a crocheted border, I loved to try that one out, (making a crocheted border on fabric)
I had collected some pretty images about that on my pinterest

Can't wait to watch some flowers and make some embroidery designs myself, here in my garden, endless possibilities.

I wanted to try out some embroidery with silk ribbon, but the problem (here in Belgium) is, that I never can find what I need(no embroidery silk ribbon to find in this little country) so I used synthetic ribbon, and that is not nearly as pretty, if anyone can recommend me a good internet supplier in Europe? please do, thank you.

A happy bunch
