Could you care for this care bear? I found it hard... Following an insignificant remark about a knitted care bear from three year old Kim, my mum (a.k.a. her granny) got into crazy bidding wars on ebay to get her hands on a pattern. She knitted this care bear up while she was in France, the week before I got there. I do remember agreeing to embroider the face and rainbow but I do NOT remember agreeing to sew up and stuff the whole thing. Thanks to Cheer Bear I got none of my crafting (not even the knitting for baby Ruth) done while I was there, which is now coming back to bite me on the bum. It took a mammoth effort to get Cheer Bear finished before I left. To begin with it looked absolutely nothing like a care bear but it just needed a bit more stuffing... which took a trip to Switzerland to find! Perhaps I overstuffed those arms...? Kim now thinks a blue and a green care bear would be nice but I have told my mum she's on her own this time.
I got my prize from the giveaway at Ginger and George today. Yowser! The sewing is so perfect that I can't even work out where one stitch ends and another starts. I am almost ashamed of my embroidery skills now - Kirsty's are truly amazing! That said, I'm planning to be reunited with my needle and thread this weekend, which is set to be a crafting flurry in amongst all the piles of work I have to do for school. Graham has a busy weekend ahead so I'm going to try and make the most of having the flat to myself for a bit. Must be productive, although that would mean moving this warm furry black and white bundle of purry goodness off my lap... Hmm, maybe later!
