while back I received an order from a lovely lady for 6 ami bears and a Peabody for Xmas.Now as thrilled and excited as I was by such an order, it's the sort of order that slightly freaks me out because it is so far away, there is so much time. Don't get me wrong I always appreciate when people give me plenty of time, but well this is a lot of time. SO much time that knowing myself I could easily put it off and off and off and then it's a week til Xmas. Especially with all the colab making to do.
And a rushed bear is not a happy bear in my opinion.
So instead I've taken the bull my the horns, and have been slowly chipping away at them. Doing 1 or two and then something for the colab, and then something for the shop and then something for no reason, and so on. It's actually got a nice little rhythm to it.
The three little dudes are above are the first instalment of the 6, and right now I'm working on the Peabody.
And on a completely unrelated topic, tomorrow I'm off to a professional barista course. Which may seem a little odd since I don't really like coffee ( but hey I love those baby chinos) more done for the job skill bit, and that I can make people I like coffee. I hope they teach us to make those pretty patterns on the top, that seems a must.
PS . I realise I really should have done this post yesterday as part of our creative space, but well I'm not that organised. hope you have a great friday !

I am not very organised either lately..pfffttt.

i'd love to be able to make people i like REAL coffee (and cute bears too)!!
I am exactly the same Jess! Too much time can be worse than too little but it sounds like you've got it all worked out... must remember for myself in the future ;) Your three little bears look fabulous - I'm sure she'll be extra happy with them. I think it's fantastic to have the barista skill up your sleeve - good luck and happy Friday! :) Kx
How exciting, learning the Barista skills! (i love coffee, as long as theres a sugar!)X
Your little bears are adorable. That's one lucky lady!

I like your plan Jess, and I totally get you re having almost TOO much time do do an order. I like the way you are breaking it up...I should take a leaf out of your book. I haven't done a thing these holidays, I find it too distracting when the kids are home. On a totally unrelated topic, did you see the Tiges lost to GC today?? OMG. Bit of a shame.,,how did your boys go? x
oh jess how did the barista course go? and i love the sound of the rhythm you are in for all the things you are creating at the moment. i think anything rushed when created by hand can make for a not very happy outcome. the fun and love put in to the process is what give the finished item the beginnings of its soul x
Hope you enjoyed the barista course! Did you get to make patterns?
I like the way you're mixing up your makings too! xo
mmm I love a good coffee Jess, I would love to do one of those courses
Congrats on the order, I am sure she will be thrilled
