after some silence let’s make some noise!

‘Hot crossbuns’… – whispers big bear no1. Or do I hear my own whispering? Hmmm… That’s Bruno

‘I don’t want a new home!’ – shouts big bear no2 (Cinnamon)c. I’m gonna have to make sure he goes to a lovely family (as lovely as ours, he he

‘Where are our promised wooden boxes?’ – I hear these two non stop… ‘Sigh’…

Small bear 1

and small bear 2

‘Carrots! Carrots! Caaarrroootttsss!’ – on demand from this little creature

‘I wish my scarf would be white, not brown…’ – comes from the corner of my desk. So I’m looking for some white yarn now for my white bunny. I’m also gonna make a white quilt for her. And white cakes to go with a white tea set. All in a white wooden box…

And there are two more bigger bears… One needs legs and both – clothes, toys… So still quite a bit to do, but I’m getting closer and closer with my proper shop update. I’m!

That’s it for now. Will be back with the progress on my shop update very soon.

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Dots and one quack

Introducing: Cweek

I saw this Maileg goose and then I thought I could try to make a little quack of my own design. Might make some more… But for now it’s all teddies and rabbits sets. And baby gifts. And felting…

With my head high in the clouds

After the rain the sky will shine and that’s so beautifull… I put headphones on and imagine myself walking on that white soft carpet that covers the sky. Nothing else arround you, no other sounds. The mind is free. Breath in, close your eyes and spin arround… runn arround, leave footprints, move clouds with hands, make patterns and watch how the wind customizes it all. I love it. The sky, the clouds and happy me…

When I’m on earth I still make the usual things, including toys for you:

There will be a give away v. soon, so watch the space

In a mean time – stay happy!

Rory and little Salt don’t know it, but these two have lookalikes Rodger and tiny Pip

some bears who soon will need new homes

Two girls – two swaps

I enjoy making things (a lot!), especially if I know they gonna have a concrete ‘owner’ to go to. All of my toys are intended for kids and I always hope that my little creations will be played with, so having neglected unsold toys standing on my bookshelf is not the result I hoped for. I still have two ladies: Isolda and Isabelle, who really need to move from our home to somewhere where they will be appreciated. So I’m offering swaps this time. Nothing big. To you from me: my elephants, some other mini goodies that I’ll add according to what the winners will be interested in and I would hope to get something small in return. Anything you would love me to have. Simple and hopefully fun

Isolda:

Isabelle:

If you’re interested – drop a line in the comments (pls name the elephant you would like to own) and I’ll pick (next friday the 10th of October) two swap partners for myself .

Have a great weekend!

‘You Don’t Know Me’

What do you do, when your day starts with Monday, rain, dark sky, strong wind and a kid that instead of ‘good morning’ says ‘I don’t want to go to school’? I tend to hate Mondays (and I hear it’s pretty normal), but today is the day when I decided some things can be changed.

I’m playing this amazing, fantastic, beautiful, uplifting and unique album. It’s so mine for today…

Thinking of a sky like this

and getting some boys ready:

Benet, who keeps on making me smile

Jaap, whom I so would love to keep…

darling Rodger

and one girl -Sadie with her dolly

And I’m gonna smile a lot today. And tomorrow… And be positive. And not concentrated on my appointment with a dentist tomorrow. Play and laugh. And love Monday.

Happy Monday to you too!
