Teddy Bears Picnic

Time for a picnic and today some tiny little painted teddies are coming along.  They are so small they will fit in my handbag.  A few years ago I used to go to Flemington Craft market on a fairly regular basis and I bought these dear little painted bears from a delightful lady called Bridget.  They are so sweet.


Share a Teddy Bear ( Softies welcome too)
Do you have a bear or a softie to bring on our picnic.  They can be big or little, home made or shop bought.  Everyone is welcome, just pop your details into Mr Linky.


A Giveaway Winner
The winner of last week's giveaway is lovely Kaylee from Krafty Kaylee.  Congratulations, Kaylee - this is your little present. 

 Free Knitted Softie Patterns
This week I found some beautiful free knitting patterns shared, very generously, by other bloggers.

They are all so sweet.

Please Consider Helping

If you are an animal lover please consider supporting the Free The Bears Fund.  I do and it makes me feel good to know that I am helping to give the bears in various sanctuaries around the world a safe, peaceful and happy existence.

PS I just found out that my Once a Season Swap parcel arrived.  This is what I sent.

    Hi Melody. Your little painted teddies are delightful! Just backs up the saying - good things come in small packages!

    Those painted teddies are so cute - a lot of detail in something so small.

    Thanks for sharing the patterns, I am in a knitting mood at the moment.

    Oh, I do hope you do this again. I have a teddy that I dressed for Halloween as Dracula. Unfortunately, I dropped my camera yesterday and can't take any pictures until I get it fixed or replace it. Love those little bears!
