Winsome Kindness.

Hello here is my little pincushion inspired bear dressed in a reversible outfit made from vintage Irish linen and hand dyed silk, lace and teeny silk yoyo flowers.

I have decided to call her Winsome Kindness. Last week I met a lady at the opticians where I work and I just swooned when I asked her name and she replied "Winsome" I think it's so beautiful! Later on the same day a gentleman called Mr Kindness arrived for an appointment! I kid you not! So what else could I call my new bear ??
I can't seem to post any more pics, I'm sure there must be an easier way to do this but I can't see how. Must be doing something wrong.I'm tired so I'll put them in another post, really must go to bed now. Ta ta.

A Sneak Peek!

Hello there, been having fun today messing around with my camera so I thought I'd post a sneak peek of my new bear. More pics tomorrow! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Tomorrow never comes!

Just a quick update on the pics of the new bear in her outfit. Well the outfit is now finished and I am pleased with how it's turned out however we've had a thunder storm here in the Northwest so it's way too dark to get any good pictures now so I'll be posting them at a later date. The days are getting shorter now and I know that my getting home from work at 7pm will probably scupper any photo opportunity and mornings are one mad dash for me, oh well never mind!

On my workroom table.

Today I am working on an outfit for a little girl bear. I like to gather all my inspiration 'ingredients' just like I would when following a recipe for a delicious cake!
When I was at college studying for a City and Guilds in dress making we learnt the importance of mood boards and I like to think that this is a mini version of doing just that. The pin cushion is one that I made for myself when I wanted to pretty up my sewing kit, I'm drawing my inspiration from that and tomorrow I hope to show you what I come up with, so pop back and see what takes shape!
