Ferdie, the travelling bear!

Hi Everyone! Time to share a new/old friend with you. I made this fine fellow quite some time ago, and as I was so pleased with him I popped a metal catch on a ribbon around his neck and attached him to my handbag. I then took him everywhere with me, for almost a year I think!

But recently Ferdie let me know it was time to have a break and get his photo taken before kicking back and spending time with his fellow bears! So here are his gorgeous photos and I do hope you will enjoy meeting him!

Ferdie is needle felted from 2 shades of blue which have an amazing array of colours hidden in their fibres!

With his shaped muzzle, big paws and toe pads and his dropped ears Ferdie sure does steal your heart!

He even has a pearl heart in his belly, and don't you love those big eyes?

Thanks for dropping by!

Meet my newest little darling, Clarabell

Hi Everyone!

I finally get to show you my new bears, Clarabell is needle felted from Merino/silk fibre which I then brushed up, bit by bit, to make this soft, curly finish! She is wearing a little handmade dress which I put together for her, and I then decided she needed a little friend, so I created her teddy Tom!

Tom is made from the same fibre as Clara, and in the same style but I didn't brush his fur!

Just look at that little face!

She looks so cute cuddling her teddy!

Tom is made from a lighter colour a you can see.

Sitting in a sunbeam.

She is such a sweet little handful, and already sold I'm afraid. But I do have plans to make more bears of this style, I have already made her little brother Billy and I will show him soon!

Hope you enjoyed meeting Clara and Tom!

Some new friends!

Hello and welcome back to the home of my newest Little Handfuls! I have a treat for you today, 2 new little friends just waiting to meet you!

This is Petey, he is needle felted from a wool I imported from the US called Fruited Ecstasy! It's an amazing array of colours all complimenting each other!

I chose big blue eyes for Petey and they really stand out against his colouring.

He's quite a big bear again at a little over 4 inches!

Levi is felted from shades of denim blue hand dyed here in NZ. This is set off by the wool I used for his ears, muzzle etc which is in a hand dyed sky blue!

I used a sparkly metallic DMC thread for his nose etc.

I really like how he turned out, blue is my favourite colour and I have very few finished bears in blue that I really like! He has all my favs, big paws, lovely feet, sad eyes! He's just gorgeous!

I hope you have enjoyed meeting my new friends. There is still more to come but I'm making you wait again! tsk, naughty me! hehe

Happy Crafting!

Meet my gorgeous little friend Dylan!

Hi Everyone, I'm a little tardy getting these pics in. Darling little Dylan was made a few weeks ago, and I am so pleased with him! He turned out really well. The fibre I used was the same one as for Georgie further down the page, but they are both so different. I just had to use it again too, awesome fibre!

He wears a big vintage satin bow!

The wool has a mottled effect, really stunning!

Just look at those little toes! Oh so sweet!

Can I come and be your friend too? :o)

Thanks for viewing Dylan, I have a bunch more bears to show as I have been on a bit of a roll lately! But I will make you wait for them! lol Hope you enjoyed meeting Dylan and happy crafting to all!
