smallparis.jpgSo despite a 8 month holiday from bear making, I haven't been resting up much   bear_whistle   I thought you might like to see a little of what I've been up to...It's all been a lot of fun, and just the thing I needed to make me enjoy making bears again. 

I've been sewing for Blythe - it wasn't until I bought my first one that I realised there's a whole other bunch of bear artists I know from tt who own this doll.  Whilst she's not everyone's cup of tea she has been giving me some light relief- it's soooooo much easier to sew clothes for her than my miniature bears.

I've also been making lots of stationery items - I've been selling at a local indie craft show called "craft2.0"  Lots of the sellers are into recycling and upcycling and all things handmade.  It's lots of fun, though I wasn't feeling the joy so much when I was sanding 200 clothes pegs this weekend!

Fantastic clothes Melissa, you are very talented bear_thumb    I was into Blythe in a big way last year and had 4 dolls, but I ended up selling them to fund my latest obsession - antique dolls bear_original
