Attending to a turtle...

I found half of a turtle in my crochet stash last week that I had started months ago and then forgotten about when I went on holiday.  It made me sad to see her squashed into my bag of supplies neglected, so I thought I had better attend to her and finish her off.

Poor little thing with no arms, tail or face...

An arm in progress... (Eew! Check out that hitchhiker's thumb on the right... Freaky!)

And here she is, posing for her modelling shots, all decked out in her Sunday best...

Now I don't feel quite so mean.

Happy Monday!

A very purple bear...

Meet Madison II.  This little bear is going to a new baby boy called Archie.

Madison Bear

Well here we are back in Palma!  It was great to go home and have a holiday and catch up with everyone, but strangely after having only been back one week, we are struggling to remember what we did on our holiday!

One thing I did do while we were on holiday was crochet this cute little bear for our newest niece...

Meet Madison Bear.

Madison Bear is about 20cm tall (when standing) and she has moveable arms and legs and no nasty bits that might choke someone who might decide to chew them off.  She is made from 100% wool.

I ordered the pattern online from Maggie Wheldon.  I found the instructions to be well written and easy to follow; however I might make a few minor changes next time I make this bear.  The hardest part was choosing a colour and nice woollen yarn to make Madison in!

Well, I'm off to finish some crochet baby booties for another little baby!

Hasta Luego!
