Bears Wonderful Bears!











Melanie has been busy making more felted lambs wool, cashmere and alpaca wool bears for her Etsy Shop!

I just love this new batch! Each one has a different expression and personality.

They are made of upcycled wool sweaters that I purchase at the wonderful store Resweater.

Kris is wonderful to work with and she has a blog you can visit too.


This one is cashmere


This one is lambswool


They are all so unique!

Joan and Skippy just received the bears they ordered!
Read about their new home!

Another fun project Melanie just completed was making her corgi, Moe, a new set of winter booties!

She made them in two sizes to fit his front and back feet perfectly. She is getting ready to make an inventory of dog booties for her Etsy Shop, so please let me know if you have any special requests for your doggy. She is now taking custom orders.




Moe looks so cute in his new booties and winter coat!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I want to hug Moe, he is too darn cute, and especially with his snow booties! Melanie's bears - one is cuter than the next. I laughed at the one with the blue eyes - he almost looks like his eyes are crossed! The furry one is adorable too!

OMD, Moe looks SO GREAT in that picture!! If we ever got snow down here I would be preordering those booties like crazy, but since it stays a balmy 50-60 degrees, it seems a little unnecessary. I love love love his little jacket - its perfect for him.

Love the orange tweed bear. SUPER cute! And Moe is a rockstar in his sweater!

Those bears rock.
I have always loved the idea of dog booties. I bought some for Pono once, so when I went snowshoeing with him he wouldn't get those ice balls between his toes. (obviously this was when we were still in Colorado!) He let me put the booties on, then calmly sat down and pulled them off with his teeth. The booties lasted a total of 3 minutes! oh well.

Love your new Pug painting below Melissa...love the happy expression he has on his face.

Melanie's bears are wonderful...can I also say, Moe looks so sweet in his coat and shoes. I'm betting she made those for him...he's adorable.

Wow - Melanie certainly has been busy with more bears! They are wonderful. As I was viewing each one at a time, I kept saying "Oh, I like that one, and I like that one too, and oh look at this one! I love her bears! They are SO cute. Speaking of cute. MOE looks 1000% Cute and Adorable in his coat and new booties! I am been seeing so many corgi's lately, I'm falling in love with that breed too!!
Pug Hugs to MOE from Skippy!
Have a fun day!

Oh I love those fashionable little booties to keep little footies warm! They would go great with my little sweaters!

And the bears! I want everyone of them! So precious and happy looking little things. I am not sure my mommie would let me have them for my own- but she would let me look at them- mommie loves bears, and these bears have eyes, just like me! All the different colors -and looks- just like doggies and people are all different.
