Cream of the Crop


I mean quite literally, not in a vain way ( gee I hope i don't sound vain)
It's all been very creamy over here, though not really intentionally as I would rarely make two such similar coloured toys in a row.
The reason is, my brain is like a sieve sometimes. And I possibly have thought it through a bit better when starting on the wee bunny, but suddenly ( and only really because we did a phone shift together) I remembered a friend of mine from RRR had asked me ages ago to make an all cream bear- to match the colour of his wife's wedding dress as an anniversary gift in September.
With all the excitement of my upcoming market, I totally forgot. And then remembered right after finishing crocheting Pearl.
Feeling a little guilty I started on the bear for him straight after bunny here, although I have to say I found it a weird experience.
I don't usually do all one coloured ami bears, or take made to colour bear orders, but Graham's a great guy, and I feel like I owe him. I expressed my concern to him, bear might be a little bland in all one colour, but that's what he wanted, so that's what I made.

I found it strange as I felt like at the same time I wanted to make him the best bear I could, I also felt a bit removed from said bear, because I guess because i was more fulfilling someone else's idea not my own.
I am worried this little cream guy is a little bland or missing something that ommpff or kwonk . I hope he likes him and his wife does too.
Hope you are having a fabulous Monday x

He's not bland at all (but maybe a little shy? I like shy)

I see nothing dull or bland, only a lovingly created, much wanted little sweetheart. We could all be so lucky!

Oh how lovely is your friend getting his wife an anniversary gift like this little bear. He is adorable Jess and I love the bunny too. I don't think you could do bland if you tried!
