A Little Time Away Has Kick-started My Creativity Once More

Okay - I'm trying to get back into this and I don't know why I'm choosing the busiest time of my year to do so.

You see - during the summer I help out my brother with his white-water rafting business. I do everything I can to lend him a hand - but I don't guide anymore. Since he built his rafting center I'm the one who has to stay behind and keep it open. Ah well! Anything for my brother - that's how it is.

But - that's not what I wanted this post to be about. I wanted to show you some of the new designs I've been working on.
I think I should have called myself BigBlueBarn Designs - as now I've branched out from knitting and have become interested in making jewellery.

Here's a look at some of my first attempts. Eventually I'll be showing you some of the beads I'm going to make by hand. I decided on going that way once I got into making jewellery as I was still unable to make the statement that was inside me.
Anyway - have a look.

Sorry I haven't had any time to post new bears or pics of what has been coming out of Big Blue Barn Knits. But here's a pic of a pair of the little darlins that are going to be for sale.

Remember these?

A Tisket a Tasket - Many Bears in a Basket

Still knitting!

Little Red Bear

Found a new home! (Sold)

Little Red is another one-of-a-kind hand-knit bear made with acrylic yarn. His eyes and nose are vintage recycled buttons. His bow is a plaid print tied jauntily at his neck. He's so fuzzy!

He stands: 15 inches tall.
He's sized: One size fits all hugs.

If he ends up out playing in the mud in your backyard and needs a bath, he can be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth.

Because of his button eyes and nose, we don't recommend him for children under 5 years of age.

Sweetheart Bear

Found a new home! (SOLD)

Sweetheart Bear has love in her eyes!

She is a one-of-a-kind hand-knit bear made with acrylic yarn in soft hues of pink, yellow and aqua. Her eyes are pink heart beads and her nose is a vintage recycled button. Her bow is a lovely sheer soft pink ribbon tied daintily at her neck. She's thinking of love and needs to be loved!

She stands: 17 inches tall.
She's sized: One size fits all hugs.

If she ends up out playing in the mud in your backyard and needs a bath, she can be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth.

Because of her button eyes and nose, we don't recommend her for children under 5 years of age.
