Think I tried to get a job at Dunelm before I went to uni and I got rejected how sad - just think of the craft supplies I could have now 12 years on

I love this shop! Have bought many a gift from there, have you seen the tiny bears the Russian lady makes? They are so cute. For those not familiar with this shop, it is staffed by people who belong to a knitting cuircle, and they run free knitting classes in the pub opposite once a week.QUOTE]

Sams - No I haven't seen the bears but if my back isn't too bad tomorrow we might go in to Henley and have a look. You've given me the excuse I need!

Now if I can just get photobox to work.........

Previous picture turned out a bit big! Had to work out how to shrink it. The big bear we bought at a craft fair, and the little guy is the one from the shop in Henley. The first picture shows little bear next to a 2p piece for size.

Sams - Is the bear knitted or felted, or is is made from fabric?

It's fabric, I bought two and they are both different fabrics. They are jointed and move just like a big teddy. The fabric on this one is slightly spiky, but he's so cute

My lovely friend made this for me as a surprise. Isn't it gorgeous? Would make fab pressies.



If you pop along to her blog - please leave her a comment and say hi as she is getting very despondant in her blog and talking about stopping. Would be such a shame as I love seeing her creations.

That's really pretty, and very thoughful

It is a thoughtful little gift. Speaking of bears (above), I did make a little bear themed project on my blog last night. I made something else but it didn't go to plan so I had to think of something else quick. Ooh, the pressure of saying I'll do something every day!
