Bebe has new shoes...

Shoes for bears have been on my mind. Wanting to make shoes for upcoming creations, I decided to make some for a bear that is still waiting to be adopted. Bebe looked like she could use some booties. I used a Simplicity pattern for felt baby shoes as a guideline. Pulling out some craft felt to experiment with, it took several tries. Now Bebe has some yellow felt booties. Now, to translate the pattern to some smaller feet as the new creations will not be as big as Bebe. I also have to update the photos of her on Bear Pile.

Nursery Babies Challenge on Edinburgh Forum

There is still a little time left to enter the latest challenge on the Edinburgh Community Forum. This quarter's challenge is Nursery Babies --fitting because late spring is the time of year for nature to renew itself. You may enter creations (dolls, bears, animal friends, felted friends and crocheted/knitted friends) that represent newborn animals or the rebirth of Spring. Are they just hatching from their shell, snuggled up to their new mom or having fun with their new brothers and sisters, all are welcome in this Challenge. The prize is a $25 gift certificate from Edinburgh that can be used for fur, wool, or other critter making supplies.
