Finger puppets, hexagon patchwork, string quilting...and more!

For these last couple weeks
I've been feeling a little bit on the down side.

But here in East Tennessee it's now starting to feel
quite a bit like Spring time,

the sun has been out and it's warmer,

and I thought

today would be the day to resume blogging.

I've made some personal decisions and have been working towards that,

which has been implying lots of research, phone calls, and so on.

I'm not disclosing anything for now,

don't want to jinx anything,

but will do for sure in due time.

Crafts related, I've been busy.

The mystery hexagon patch work is now complete,

and it became...

...ta da da!...

... another table runner!
So, what do you think?

I like it, somehow it reminds me of the ocean, the big blue... right?

Another project that is on the making,

lots of scraps...

... yes, you've guessed!

A string quilt,

this time with a kinda criss-cross pattern/effect,
but now I'm kinda stuck on deciding how to make the borders.

It looks like this for now.

I will post the follow-ups.

 

Also a couple of hats

for my BearyNiceMade ArtFire shop,

some more headbands on the forge,

a few more Oh La La Lolita Dolls to finish up,

and something new,
some finger puppets.
Single finger puppets,
made out of felt and a few other materials.

They look like some weirdo crazy critters, don't they?
And also two groups of more crazy like critters made out of gloves.

After testing it with a age appropriate little person
(a 3 years old),
the final decision was
"I like it!".
So... I'm happy with them!
I will see you all soon!

Giveaway - seven days left to enter and win!

Once again,

I've been up since 3:30 AM!

I reckon that's the price to pay

for becoming a little kitten adoptive mom!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The little bugger

wakes me up 'cause he wants to eat

but what it really wants is to play!

Oh!... and he is good, really good, at hide and seek!

Of course, he's asleep now and me... I have to fight my own yawning just to stay awake!

Now about the giveaway...

... you still have 7 more days to enter

and win

one of my 3 Tunisian crochet handmade pouches.

The last day to enter is next Friday, October 15,

and I'll announce the 3 winners  on Saturday, October 16.

It's easy to enter,

just leave me a comment about what you like the most,

either about my blog or about my BearyNiceCrafts Etsy shop.

That's it!

Go ahead, and click here to enter!

And don't forget to leave your email

so I can contact you if you win.

On another note,

I've been keeping myself busy

(kinda forcing myself a little bit, but busy is definitely good).

I've finished two more totes,

a new polka dot series, with patchwork applique,

and I think they came out really nice.

Soon I'll be listing them on my

BearyNiceMade ArtFire Shop.

And that's it for today.

You all have a good one!

BearyNiceMade ArtFire Shop is open!

Finally Fall is here!

 Temperatures went down, and I had to turn on the heating 

last night for the very first time this season.

It feels good tough,

this nice crisping feeling on the skin kinda makes you react,

but it also makes it feel good

just to slide under the blankets and cover up to the nose!...

OK, now to the big announcement for today!

I've opened another store,

this time at ArtFire and so far I'm really pleased. 

It's called BearyNiceMade

and still is a twin sister of my BearyNiceCrafts on Etsy, meaning

I have the same items on both stores.

My plan is to have more specific items on one store

and more general ones on the other,

but for right now you can find any of my beary nice made crafts on both of them.

On the right side of my blog page, at the top,

you can find a shop window for BearyNiceMade.

Now for the giveaway I'm hosting,

there's only 10 days left to enter

and be able to win one of these 3 pouches handmade by me.

I want to thanks everyone that has been visiting and so kindly

leaving a comment.

I wish I could give everyone something!

Anyway...

As far as new craft projects,

I've been busy and finished some fabric Halloween baskets

 and I'm still working on some more of the same type

 

 for storage of small sewing items or small whatnot's,

the whatnot's possibly being a very very curious little kitten!

He (or she) is doing just fine,

gives me a lot of work but it's a real cutie, isn't it?

I'm still calling it Baby,

not being able to call it Max or Jill

without knowing for sure if it's a boy or a girl...lol...

Oh well,

I'll see you all later!
