Hello Bloggers!!
Well as today is apparently the most depressing day of the year I thought I would post some pictures of some Softies that I have made for my friend and his Daughter aka 'The Bean' (She looked like a little bean at first and the name stuck!)
Anyway I must explain that I discovered blogs over 3 years ago and came across Sock and Glove toys...which I'm sure you are all familiar with. I just couldn't believe how quick they were to make and how cute they were!
Since then I have been given by my boss a vintage sewing machine, and from time to time I wizz something together like Owly who The Bean is with. (My friend wanted a door stop so I filled it with Lentils) and in December last year I picked the knitting needles up and knitted a a couple of things by Fuzzy Mittens (Shes on my blog list) and today I'm trying Crochet! (I just can't seem to hold the one needle right!)
So there we are...hopefully a bit of cuteness (from The Bean!) to cheer us all up on a cold wet Monday Evening!
See you soon
Love Samxxx
PS Oh I must point out that The Bean does have a real name - bless her!

What a funny name, but she is very cute!!!
I love your softies; it has brightened my day up!
Love Lou xxx
She is soooo cute. The softies are lovely too. I think it's a great idea to cover things with a favourite fabric or paper, makes them individual, you should really do your filofax.
Take care.

cuter that a button!!and the softies too... %*_*% rosey
What a cutie! Love the softies.
My challenge for this year is to learn how to crochet. I can chain stitch, do a row of double / single crochet then the second row goes wrong. I just cant get the hang of it either. Good luck with it! x
lol i think beans quite a cute name!
the softies are so cute too,i just love owls.
i thought that the charity shops would be full of stuff what with it being new year and decuttering but no =(
i just felt like a right spanner cutting myself after everything had been cleaned away!and not being able to walk without looking like an idiots a bit of a pain too lol
What a sweetie! Those cuddlies are so lovely, and so much more individual than anything you could buy in the shops.
I haven't forgotten about the photos of Tom ... trying to get him sitting still, in a decent (handsome) pose, is proving quite tricky!! I'll do a couple more tomorrow and hopefully get them to you asap!

You have great taste.

good luck with the crochet I discovered I have no natural tension and cleverly renenwed my mum's love for it! I buy wool post it off and magically the postman brings me lovely envelopes of gorgeous flowers! yay for talented mums :D
How lovely.... I like to dog too.
I'm sure you'll work out the crocheting, my nan taught me but I was very young, she passed away when I was about 6, I hadn't done it for years but if you keep at it you'll get better. I was teaching my friend yesterday & she couldn't hold the hook right either! :)
