Going to the Design market was a very quick decision. I didn’t think, afraid I might have hesitated to much. I just e-mailed the girl that organize it and asked if there where any tables left for me to claim – and it was. And one week to go before it started! Not much time really, it was good that had a lot of finished stuff at home. But I also crafted like crazy the week before the market took off, and managed to finish a lot of little softies and got a bunch of new ideas that I want to try soon.
I used a old grey sweater for five new teddy bears, all with a little different look. Here are two of them:
In the pink “Project box” that I bought at IKEA I have ongoing projects like the crocheted granny scarf and some pieces of amigurami that is not finished. Lining them up it turned out I had lots of “finished” animals in there, just missing eyes and mouth…
So I sewed them all together and felt like I had really accomplished something good. Don’t we all love that feeling?
I also made a strange pattern for a little fellow and when I sewed him up I saw that all he asked for was eyes, and he became an alien:
I managed to remake the whole living room to a craft and sewing studio. Felted wool, fabric and thread everywhere and a cat that was helping to spread it too.
But on the morning before the market I just priced everything and packed it into a big box. And off we went, me and my little friends + some collages and cards etc.
Most of these little animals was crocheted last summer. What a happy bunch to become something. And when I saw them all together I felt such pride. I made all of these.
See you at the design market!
Wow! You should be proud, what a great lot of wonderful stuff!
So how did the market turn out?
YES – that?s the way: don?t think, just do it!
Your strange little fellow reminds me of the tree spirits in Princess Monoke, their little heads would rotate and make rattling noises!
Very cute.
The sweater bears are just absolutely adorable! Hope you did well at the market you deserve it :)
