My creative space

i'm playing along with Kirst this week.

Trusty old couch. Too many bears on the go and my usual crafty chaos.

Left front, the sort pile of green, orange, white and tan yarns, and crocheted bits  are of  the current Scooter I'm hoping to finish off today, with my favourite earless elephant pincushion on top. Behind that we have a Panda head for the next Eric, next to that is Mr Rusty, just keeping me company, a granny square( god knows why) a old knitted bear from the oppy.

In front of old knitted bear, there's the current reject head for my next Colin, that has caused me quite a lot of frustration because I really thought I had got "it" you know or I was there or I was happy and it was right, but then I put the proper eyes in and well no to put it frankly and there I find it more heartbreaking when you've spent a lot of time on something and it's almost done and then disaster. It's partly why I've been a bit absent from blogging I've been so absorbed in this bear, the mohair bear and pattern work can for me anyway be quite obsessive. In front of the reject head is the next possible pattern for next Colin head I've drawn up and some chopticks which are my stuffing sticks. On the right next to them is Gus my beautiful old bear, who Colin is inspired by and he's leaning against a gorgeous old redwork pillow  I found on ebay, a long time ago now, before redwork was "worth" anything.

thanks Kirsty, to play along and see who else is joining in head over here.
