BEARS! BEARS! BEARS!

Just a super quick post before I head out to work for the day! Here are some of the bears I made a few weeks ago for a craft show that my mom and I did. I finally managed to write down my pattern, which made crocheting these puppies go fairly quickly. The part that always ends up taking me forever is dressing them, anyway. There was felt and ribbon allll over our living room floor. I'm a really really messy worker. 

All but one of these little ladies (the very last, coral colored one) still need homes! You can find them in the shop!

Have a good Saturday, everyone! And if you're out Christmas shopping today- please please please, be kind and patient with us retail workers!

Beach Bear Cross Stitch Pattern

We've had a little bit of a strange spring and summer here in Maine. It felt like spring took forever to get here and summer seemed to be dragging its feet and then we had 3 or 4 day 90+ degree heat wave. Then we had weeks in the 60's and 70's. I don't really want to complain because, as I think I've mentioned before, we live in a very sunny (read: hot) 3rd floor apartment and it was nice to have cool air flowing through.

I started the pattern for Beach Bear on one of the cooler, rainy days while I was wondering if summer was ever actually going to happen. Well, it has! And what better way to kick it off than with a fun little stitching project!

You can purchase Beach Bear as an instant download from my shop! Just click the Etsy link on the upper right or click right here!

Lady Bear Cross Stitch Pattern

I was recently able to get my laptop working again, which has been awesome. However, the biggest reason that I wanted to use it again is because a little while before it crapped out on me I had purchased a program to make cross stitch patterns. I was able to make a few before my computer, let's just say, "slept" for over a year but I never really got to share them.

So, I am very excited to share with you all, my first cross stitch pattern - Lady Bear!



Lady Bear cross stitch pattern is available now in .pdf as an instant download in the S. Jane Craft shop. She's a fun little beginner project, if you haven't done much cross stitch and she is worked up in only four colors so she's easily customizable!

Happy stitching!!

Tired Bear

This is how I felt earlier (super sleepy/teensy bit grumpy) so I drew a bear about it.

I felt much better after I drew her but now I'm back to sleepy! I hope if any of you drew feelings bears that yours looked a little more peppy!
