Now that the market's over, I've have a few custom orders to work on. The first one is for my cousins little boy, basically two little ami guys. I was deeply thrilled by idea of making some little blokes/ girls for Em ( my cousin) but the only problem with this order is, she found it too hard to choose, so has left it up to me, and I hate choosing for other people. I'm great at procrastinating and this just brings out the worst in me, lots of wobbling for this bear to that, between an elephant and a lamb, which one to start first. I think to honest I need something like the market a deadline and some stress to set me straight. Finally I settled on a Enid, above and now I'm working on a Cumkwat. I hope she likes them.
For more creative goings on pop over to Kirsty's to play along and have a peek.
PS that little book is my pattern book, aren't you proud of me, I've been writing every pattern each time!!

I love that you're recording your patterns Jess. That's my aim for this year.
I'm trying to photo & write down the how for everything I make.
Just gorgeous! i know how you feel - I don't like choosing for others either - good luck! K
Isn't procrastination the absolute pits? Someone should invent a cure and make a squillion. Not that you're critter doesn't look the bees knees!
Oh I am all about the procrastination, all the time. I wish I were Sam from Bewitched & could rust wriggle my nose & have stuff done.
I could rule the world.
Very. Cute. Bear.
Its hard to imagine that that ball of yarn will be somehow magically transformed into one of your gorgeous little creatures. Good on you for recording as you go.
Soooo cute! And hooray you for recording your patterns, I always forget to write measurements of things, I must try harder at that!
Very sweet. And good on you for writing your patterns down. I have one pattern that has about six different measurements on it and I am now not sure which are the right ones.
Great idea to write down your designs - you should write a book - seriously! Nic
and what a great book to write them in! it's perfect
Wow...patterns completely terrify me...I can't fathom being able to read or write one properly. Good for you for keeping tabs on your work!
Good thing that you're writing down your patterns, I agree - you should make a book with your bears and patterns. This little guy looks cute :)
