Bruges bear fair

Hi, I will post some pictures of the bear fair in Bruges,
It was not a succes I have to say,
The weather that week-end was so lovely, the best this summer, so just nobody came to the fair, after all this rain! GRRRRRRRR


Lucky for me I was very fortunated to meet a very sweet Russian lady, who sat next to me, she had wonderfull bears and had a shop in Praag. You can visit the shop "here " 
Her name is Marina Dorogush and she also makes bears.


And it was so hot in the big room, but it was a lovely setting!






In the evening, me and my husband had a lovely meal in a good restaurant and we had a long late night walk.
I never visited Bruges in the dark, it was lovely, so funny to be tourist in your own country, I am not used to that, 
Belgium is just to smal for that, but I loved it!




Look at the Belgium chocolat in that shop window!! Lucky for me, the shop was closed, or I had to have some, yummi :)

They still need some working on


I am working at 5 bears at a time now, One is still sitting in the mohair and needs to be cut.
I have stitched 4 of them, one is almost stuffed and still needs some belly stuffing eyes and nose, That will be a fox!
Then I have 2 bunnies(a pink and a green) and 2 bears, a little red one, and a natural classic big one.
I have no idea what there names will be, colour eyes?
Nose?
They will all be OOAK :)
I plan to take them with me on the bear fair in Bruges,
That way I will have something to do, while I sit there.
Can't imagine just sitting there.

A flower for every bee

I am glad I took this pictures a couple of weeks ago.
The weather has been so bad in Belgium.
I have planted a lot of flowers to attract bees and to help them, there are so little of them left.
You really should think about this problem, we depend on them.
You can click on the pictures to enlarge them, so you get a better look at the bees.













I have more bees every day, I think they had to get to know it here.

The last one of the 3 new bears.Richard is silky soft, so sweet.

I am going to cut some more mohair this evening.
Really got to work in the garden today, the weather has been nasty here.
