Back from Holiday.


Well here I am twice as tired as when I left, somehow camping with a 5,3 and 1 year old and 2 dogs (one in season sigh) wasn't quite so relaxing! It was just like a normal week in my life but with the extra hassle of tents ha ha. But we had great fun, Yarmouth sea front was terrifying and hilarious as always (only managed half day before we had run away ha ha). We saw a lovely flight of cranes out on a boat trip on the broads and sitting on the beach I saw loads of seals and a little porpoise, I was so chuffed! I also finished the little bear that I started before I left, so here is the result of the dyeing experiment, little Bill.

Well I actually managed to get off my arse and do some bearing at last! I made the little brown bear (Jacob) for my friends baby. So I used safety eyes and joints and I think he turned out really cute. My husband said he looked like one of Matthews, not too miuch I hope (please don't sue me Matthew ha ha).











I did this little pink bunny too with fabric I've had for ages and I love her.















Speaking of fabric I finally had a go at dyeing my own. This is a picture of work in progress, you can see the origional colour for comparison and I really like the result, yet another
excuse to make mess, my husband will be pleased!

Summer? well not really is it, but all 3 of my princes's seem to be hear every day so it must be!! I've had even less time for making bears than usual trying to keep the monkeys entertained. We have had 3 birthdays to do (we are ven deeper in pink plastic and ponies now!) my husband had food poisoning yuck and I feel like I've been run over by a truck. Despite all that for some reason I feel like having another baby, I think I've lost my mind completely hey?

I have manged a couple of mini needle felted bears and I have just started on a bear for a friends baby and a nice pink bunny, I've never made a bunny so I can't wait to see how she turns out.

I'm looking forward to Sept. 14th a friend and I are going to go to Hugletts and have a day off from babies in big London town! Can you believe it's been 5 years since I was last in London, I'm such a country bumpkin ha ha. This is Sam Peeps in the picture, for sale on Ebay becuase I need money to spend on holiday! Wish us luck as we are going camping up in Norfolk in 10 days time, 3 kids 2 dogs all in a VW camper, so it would be nice if the weather was just a bit less rubbish!

Hopefully my next post will have my two new bears on, and I also found a nice lady on the local craft Market who will take some of my bears to sell. Well I guess they have more chance then sitting in my bedroom?
